Meta and IBM Team up Against Dominant Big Tech Players

In a prominent push toward open-sourcing artificial intelligence, IBM and Meta on Tuesday launched a group called the AI Alliance, an international coalition of corporations, universities and organizations that are collectively committed to "open science" and "open technologies."

The Alliance, according to a statement, will be "action-oriented," and is meant to better shape the equitable evolution of the technology.

Some prominent members of the organization include AMD, Cornell University, Harvard University, Yale University, NASA, Hugging Face and Intel.

The goal of the group, according to a statement, is to enhance responsible innovation by ensuring trust, safety and scientific rigor. To achieve that goal, it will push for the development of benchmarks and evaluation standards, support AI skill-building around the world and highlight members' use of responsible AI.
