AI Alliance a community of technology creators, developers and adopters collaborating to promote safe and responsible AI
a few days ago The news of the birth of the AI Alliance was announced, which I had already read about and had not had the opportunity to share the news here on the blog.
The AI Alliance It was born from the hand of IBM, Meta and just over 50 companies and international institutions (including the Linux Foundation, AMD, Intel, Oracle, among others) and what I find interesting about this project and for which it personally attracted my attention to share the news of it here in the blog, it is mentioned that the objective is the joint development of open technologies related with the Machine Learning and AI, whichl will allow developers and researchers to accelerate innovation responsible for artificial intelligence (AI).
According to one of the founders, IBM, the AI Alliance promotes collaboration and information sharing to support faster and more inclusive innovation. It would also help identify and mitigate specific risks before an AI product is released to the world.
“The AI Alliance is action-oriented and resolutely international; and aims to create opportunities everywhere, across the diversity of institutions that can shape the evolution of AI to better reflect the needs and complexity of our societies,” IBM said.
The AI Alliance seeks to guarantee trust, security, diversity and economic competitiveness in the field of AI by connecting leading developers, scientists, academic institutions, companies and other innovators. The AI Alliance aims to bring together resources and knowledge to address security challenges in the development of AI systems. Furthermore, it seeks to provide a platform to share and develop solutions that suit the needs of researchers, developers and adopters around the world.
Among the specific activities the development and implementation of benchmarks, evaluation standards, tools, among others, in order to promote the responsible use of AI systems. It also focuses on training multilingual, multimodal and highly skilled students capable of addressing crucial social problems such as climate change.
“We will accomplish all of this by creating member-led working groups that report to a governing body and technical oversight committee,” IBM said.
The AI Alliance is not only limited to collaboration with open source foundations such as the Apache Foundation and the Linux Foundation, but is also committed to improving and initiating open source software projects.
The AI Alliance is focused on accelerating innovation in artificial intelligence and working to advance the fundamental capabilities of AI, as well as plans to initiate or improve projects that meet the following objectives:
- Development and implementation of reference texts, standards, tools and resources related to the development and use of artificial intelligence systems. Create tested tools to ensure security and trust, and promote the use of these tools in building models and applications.
- Responsibly drive an ecosystem of open machine learning models for a variety of applications, including multilingual, scientific, and multimodal models.
- Foster a vibrant ecosystem of AI hardware accelerators by driving contributions and adoption of essential enabling software technology.
- Support the development of global AI skills and exploratory research. Engage the academic community to support researchers and students to learn and contribute to essential AI tools and models research projects.
- Develop educational materials and resources for public discourse and policymakers on the benefits, risks, solutions, and precision regulation for AI.
- Launch initiatives to promote open and secure methods for developing artificial intelligence systems and organize events to explore AI use cases and show how Alliance members are using open technology in AI responsibly and for good.
