Technological companies generate and hold the biggest amount of big data in the entire world. Leading the pack are tech giants Facebook, Google, Amazon, IBM, and Microsoft who have all banded together in order to create a better standards and practices regarding artificial intelligence.
A self-governed initiative, the five major companies have recently launched Partnerships on Artificial Intelligence.
Though rivals when it comes to business, they’ve set aside their difference in order to make bigger strides in big data through AI and make it more accessible to everyone.
According to a press release released on September 28:
“The objective of the partnership on AI is to address opportunities and challenges with AI technologies to benefit people and society. Together, the organization’s members will conduct research, recommend best practices, and publish research under an open license in areas such as ethics, fairness and inclusivity; transparency, privacy, and interoperability; collaboration between people and AI systems; and the trustworthiness, reliability and robustness of the technology. It does not intend to lobby government or other policymaking bodies.”
Right now, the organization is composed of only the major companies but they predict that in the near future, other companies, both big and small, will join in and support their cause. Partnerships on Artificial Intelligence aims to include non-corporate companies into the discussion and have structured their organization in such a way that all member groups are given equal opportunities to lead.
Currently, the members of the organization include:
LeCun; Amazon’s Director of Machine Learning Ralf Herbrich, DeepMind’s co-founder and Head of Applied AI Mustafa Suleyman; Google Research’s Senior Scientist Greg Corrado; IBM Research Scientist Francesca Rossi; and Microsoft’s Technical Fellow and managing director of its Washington research lab Eric Horvitz.
