By Margo Stanton

In a joint announcement this morning, IBM and Meta launched the AI Alliance, an international community of leading technology developers, researchers, and adopters collaborating to advance open, safe, responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Mass Open Cloud (MOC) Alliance, housed at the Boston University Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering, is a founding member of the AI Alliance.

The aim of the AI Alliance is to foster an open community and enable developers and researchers to accelerate responsible innovation in AI while ensuring scientific rigor, trust, safety, security, diversity, and economic competitiveness. By bringing together leading developers, scientists, academic institutions, companies, and other innovators, the AI Alliance will pool resources and knowledge to address safety concerns, while providing a platform for sharing and developing solutions that fit the needs of researchers, developers, and adopters around the world.

“The MOC Alliance is delighted to be part of the AI Alliance,” says Professor Orran Krieger (ECE), director of the MOC Alliance. “The MOC Alliance’s open-source production cloud platform, with all the operations state and telemetry available to enable innovation, make it an exciting match for the AI Alliance’s mission of advancing open, transparent AI.”
