At the VentureBeat conference, International Business Machines' David Cox presented a persuasive case for transparent advancement in enterprise machine learning. The executive, Vice President of AI models and head at the joint MIT and IBM artificial intelligence laboratory, underscored the importance of transparency in innovation, particularly in the current artificial intelligence ecosystem.
David highlighted the nuanced essence of accessibility in machine learning, contesting the binary view of the idea. He observed the burgeoning network of transparent systems from multiple providers, including tech giants, universities, and nation-states.
Nevertheless, he voiced worries about the nature of transparency in numerous LLMs, observing that certain models provide barely more than a set of numerical values lacking clarity in their development processes.
