At VB Transform 2024, IBM's Cox showcased a convincing case for collaborative development in business artificial intelligence. The speaker, Vice President of machine learning frameworks and leader at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, emphasized the importance of openness in technological advancement, particularly in the current artificial intelligence ecosystem.
Cox highlighted the nuanced nature of accessibility in machine learning, contesting the two-dimensional perception of the idea. He pointed out the growing ecosystem of transparent systems from multiple providers, including industry leaders, academic institutions, and countries.
However, he expressed reservations about the nature of transparency in many AI language systems, pointing out that certain models provide little more than a "bag of numbers" devoid of clarity in their production methods.
