At VB Transform 2024, International Business Machines' David Cox delivered a convincing case for transparent advancement in corporate artificial intelligence. The speaker, Vice President of AI models and head at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, stressed the significance of collaboration in innovation, notably in the current machine learning environment.
Cox highlighted the nuanced nature of openness 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.
Nonetheless, he articulated reservations about the nature of transparency in many Large Language Models, pointing out that a number of them offer scarcely more than a collection of data points lacking transparency in their production methods.
