On Tuesday December 5, 2023, IBM and Meta announced the AI Alliance, an international coalition of over 50 organizations including AMD, Intel, NASA, and Harvard University that aims to advance "open innovation and open science in AI." According to the announcement, they will develop and deploy benchmarks and evaluation standards, tools and other resources to enable the responsible development and use of AI system at a global scale. AI Alliance is also addressing social issues with AI as well as educating policymakers on regulation.

Arvind Krishna, IBM Chairman and CEO, made some positive comments: "The progress we continue to witness in AI is a testament to open innovation and collaboration across communities of creators, scientists, academics and business leaders. This is a pivotal moment in defining the future of AI. IBM is proud to partner with like-minded organizations through the AI Alliance to ensure this open ecosystem drives an innovative AI agenda underpinned by safety, accountability and scientific rigor."

According to Brand Value (China)Network, Open AI and Google are notably absent from the name list because they didn’t think AI should be open source. They want to have their own tools and their own sort of play books and own systems that they are licensing. On the other hand, Nick Clegg, President, Global Affairs of Meta, believed “ it’s better when AI is developed openly—— more people can access the benefits, build innovative products and work on safety. The AI Alliance brings together researchers, developers and companies to share tools and knowledge that can help us all make progress whether models are shared openly or not.” Whether the AI Alliance will have any impact is unknown, but it appears to be an important event for the future direction of AI development, dividing those who emphasize openness and collaboration in contrast to advocates for more closed, proprietary approaches.
