At the VentureBeat conference, International Business Machines' David Cox delivered a convincing case for open innovation in business generative AI. The executive, Vice President of machine learning frameworks and director at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, stressed the crucial nature of collaboration in technological advancement, particularly in the present AI landscape.
The IBM executive pointed out the complex essence of accessibility in AI, challenging the binary view of the concept. He pointed out the growing ecosystem of open models from various sources, including tech giants, universities, and nation-states.
However, he expressed reservations about the standard of accessibility in numerous LLMs, observing that some provide little more than a set of numerical values devoid of clarity in their development processes.
