China showcased its AI ambitions at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, emphasizing open-source models and international cooperation, contrasting with the US's focus on dominance and regulation, while highlighting advancements in robotics and AI safety concerns.
Tech executives are expressing concerns over the concentration of artificial intelligence (AI) development in the hands of a few big tech companies, giving them excessive power and control over the technology. They argue that the current AI landscape is driven by profit and shareholder returns, leading to socially consequential decisions. The executives also highlight the loss of user control over data and the potential for AI to exacerbate the influence of tech giants. However, some believe that open-source models could disrupt the current AI landscape by allowing the development of competing applications without the need for massive resources.
IBM is reimagining its Watson supercomputer platform as an AI development studio called Watsonx, which will provide companies with a series of training models to build, train, scale, and deploy their own AI platforms. The platform will offer foundation and open-source models, including datasets focused on generating code for developers, handling industry-specific databases, and planning for natural disasters. Watsonx is expected to be available in stages, starting with the Watsonx.ai studio in July, and expanding with new features debuting later this year.
