At VB Transform 2024, International Business Machines' David Cox delivered a persuasive rationale for collaborative development in corporate artificial intelligence. The speaker, VP of artificial intelligence systems and leader at the collaborative research center, emphasized the importance of transparency in innovation, notably in the modern machine learning environment.
Cox highlighted the nuanced nature of transparency in artificial intelligence, questioning the simplistic perception of the idea. He noted the burgeoning network of transparent systems from multiple providers, including industry leaders, research centers, and governments.
Nonetheless, he voiced worries about the nature of openness in many Large Language Models, pointing out that a number of them deliver scarcely more than a set of numerical values lacking transparency in their production methods.
