Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with the IBM team to discuss their AI LLM strategy and capabilities. Today, they announced the release of IBM Granite 3.0, now integrated into IBM Consulting Advantage. These models offer advanced AI capabilities for cloud transformation, business operations, and more, and are designed with a focus on performance, transparency, and responsible AI. Trained on enterprise-specific data, Granite models are more efficient and cost-effective than many larger frontier models. In summary, Granite 3.0 aims to accelerate enterprise innovation and enhance client ROI. #EnterpriseAI #AIPowered https://lnkd.in/eRNkfbna

AI technology is a powerful tool that’s transforming small businesses, education, and scientific research. But with it comes an increase in deceptive deepfakes and other abusive synthetic media. Today, in response to these urgent risks, Microsoft proposed a robust plan that outlines ways the public, private and non-profit sectors can protect the public from abusive AI-generated content. Our recommendations include putting forward new policy ideas and supporting existing ones that promote responsible AI, which will safeguard elections, protect seniors from fraud, and defend women and children from online exploitation and abuses. A big thank you to all our partners for joining us as we promote responsible AI innovation and usage. https://lnkd.in/gG6iahfR

New podcast from "AI Interrogator" from Infosys Knowledge Institute, and thank you to IBMs Phaedra Boinodiris for participating. "Who's accountable for this model?" "Where can I learn more about what training data was used in order to come up with this output? Where did this output come from? When was this audited? How often is it audited? " There is much need for AI Governance with watsonx.gov #ibm #watsonx
