IBM Aims To Unleash More Secure A.I.

IBM unveiled its latest product, watsonx, a tool that will provide businesses with a more secure artificial intelligence (AI) technology than ChatGPT, the company suggests.

Key Details

  • While ChatGPT has been a success since its launch, it is connected to publicly available data, making it a security concern for businesses working with sensitive material. 
  • Watsonx gives businesses access to many of the same tools ChatGPT provides while providing needed security. 
  • “With IBM watsonx, clients can quickly train and deploy custom AI capabilities across their entire business, all while retaining full control of their data,” IBM CEO Arvind Krishna says.
  • The watsonx platform consists of three products to provide businesses with different services: watsonx.ai, watsonx.data, and watsonx.governance. 

Why it’s news

While OpenAI’s advances in generative AI technology have provided new opportunities for businesses, several companies have hesitated to use the technology due to security concerns. However, IBM’s new offerings could solve that concern. 

“Enterprises turning to AI today need access to a full technology stack that enables them to train, tune and deploy AI models, including foundation models and machine learning capabilities, across their organization with trusted data, speed, and governance – all in one place and to run across any cloud environment,” IBM says in a press release. 

The company also shared its plans to further advance its AI technology, including developing a GPU-as-a-service infrastructure that supports AI technology and that contains an AI dashboard for data tracking and management of carbon emissions. 

The IBM foundation and open-source models will give users access to AI tools to help businesses adapt to AI and scale its usage. Users will gain access to equipment that will help them either fine-tune existing AI models or build their own. They can train these models on their own data and “deploy them at scale in a more trustworthy and open environment to drive business success.”

Watsonx will contain three products, watsonx.ai, watsonx.data, and watsonx.governance. 

  • Watsonx.ai will be available for clients in July this year. It will help AI builders train, test, and fine-tune AI models “through an open and intuitive user interface.”
  • Watsonx.data is a “fit-for-purpose data store” specifically designed for AI workloads and governed data. It will most likely be available in July 2023. 
  • Watsonx.governance will enhance AI workflows and mitigate the risk and time that comes with manual processes. It will also give customers the tools to provide better privacy, identify model bias, and enable companies to achieve ethics standards. This tool will be available later in 2023
