IBM and Meta launch the AI Alliance
Summary
While numerous individual entities, including companies, startups, researchers, and governments, are committed to open science and technologies, the Alliance recognises the need for more collaboration and information sharing. Such synergy is key to fostering faster, more inclusive innovation and identifying and mitigating specific risks before products are introduced to the market. The Alliance will establish member-driven working groups across all major topical areas, along with a governing board and technical oversight committee. Arvind Krishna, IBM Chairman and CEO: "The progress we continue to witness in AI is a testament to open innovation and collaboration across communities of creators, scientists, academics and business leaders. Nick Clegg, President, Global Affairs of Meta: “We believe it’s better when AI is developed openly – more people can access the benefits, build innovative products and work on safety.
