create aopen, safe and responsible artificial intelligence. This is theobiettivo that they have asked themselves IBM e Meta announcing the launch ofAI Alliance, A new international community made up of leading technology developers, researchers and users. The initiative It has 50 founding members globally, including AMD, CERN, Dell Technologies, Oracle, Red Hat, Sony Group, NASA, as well as several universities and startups.
Accelerate responsible AI innovation
AI Alliance is focused on creation of an open community, giving developers and researchers the ability to accelerate responsible innovation in Artificial Intelligence. The organization is committed to scientific rigor, trust, safety, diversity and economic competitiveness.
By promoting open and transparent innovation, AI Alliance recognizes that progress in AI offers new opportunities to improve work, life, learning and human interactions.
Analyzing AI safety
The AI Alliance aims to define reference parameters for AI-focused projects and to support developers in integrating such metrics into their products. In collaboration with IBM, Meta will promote the adoption of technological tools capable of supporting complexity in the creation of Artificial Intelligence services.
Thanks to the union of developers, scientists, academic institutions, companies and other innovation promoters, Meta will dedicate resources and skills to the analysis of safety-related issues, simultaneously offering a platform for sharing and developing solutions suited to the needs of researchers, developers and users globally.
How the AI Alliance will work
The AI Alliance will begin its work forming working groups led by members in the main thematic areas mentioned. Furthermore, will establish a board of directors and an technical supervision committee dedicated to advancing projects in the aforementioned areas and establishing overall standards and guidelines.
In addition to bringing together AI professionals, the Alliance plans to collaborate with existing initiatives of governments, non-profit organizations and civil society, in order to contribute to valuable and aligned projects in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
The objectives of the Ai Alliance
To accomplish this goal, the AI Alliance has planned to start or enhance projects which pursue the following objectives:
- Develop and implement benchmarks and evaluation standards, tools and resources that enable the development and responsible use of AI systems on a global scale, including the creation of a catalog of verified safety, reliability and trust tools.
- Responsibly foster the ecosystem of open core models with diverse modalities, including highly capable multilingual, multimodal, and scientific models, which can help address global-scale challenges in areas such as climate and education
- Foster a vibrant ecosystem of AI hardware accelerators, enhancing contributions and adoption of essential software technologies.
- Support global AI education and exploratory research, engaging the academic community to support researchers and students in learning and contributing to essential AI models and tools projects.
- Develop educational content and resources to inform public debate and policymakers on the benefits, risks, solutions and precise regulations for AI.
- Launch initiatives that encourage the open development of AI in safe and beneficial ways, and organize events to explore AI use cases and showcase how Alliance members use open technology in AI responsibly and positively.

“We believe that theartificial intelligence must be developed according to an open approach: in this way, more people will be able to benefit from it, it will be possible to develop innovative products and work on AI safety. AI Alliance brings together researchers, developers and companies to share tools and knowledge that can help everyone make progress, whether models are shared openly or not. We are excited to collaborate with our partners to advance the development of AI and help everyone build responsibly,” he commented Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs of Meta.
“The progress we continue to see in Artificial Intelligence is a testament to open innovation and collaboration between communities of creators, scientists, academics and business leaders. This represents a crucial moment in defining the future of AI. IBM is proud to partner with like-minded organizations through the AI Alliance to ensure that this open ecosystem drives an innovative agenda for AI based on safety, accountability and scientific rigor,” he said Arvind krishna, Chairman and CEO of IBM.
