In a constantly evolving technological world, collaboration and open innovation are essential for progress. Therefore, Red Hat is proud to announce its participation as a founding member of the AI Alliance, an international consortium dedicated to promoting secure, responsible, and open innovation-based artificial intelligence (AI).
A common vision of open innovation
At Red Hat, we have always believed in the power of open collaboration to drive innovation, and that belief extends to AI. Joining forces with industry giants, leading academic institutions, and forward-thinking innovators to create a healthy and open AI community aligns naturally with our commitment to open innovation. AI Alliance is not just a coalition; it is a shared vision and mission to shape the future of AI in a responsible and ethical manner.
However, Red Hat’s participation in AI Alliance is more than just collaboration. AI Alliance focuses on accelerating and spreading open innovation across the AI technology landscape. As part of AI Alliance, Red Hat aims to contribute to the development of open technologies through software, models, and tools. We are excited about the opportunity we have to shape the future of AI around open innovation and open source technologies across hybrid cloud – from the data center to the edge.
Just as open source has been the driving force behind data center, cloud, and edge platforms, it has also powered AI. And just as Red Hat has helped shape enterprise technology through its contributions to the open source community – spanning hundreds of open source projects, thousands of developers, and millions of hours of work per year – we are eager to take a leadership role in shaping the future of AI through open innovation and our contributions in open source communities. As part of AI Alliance, Red Hat’s upstream communities – including Open Data Hub – will serve as an integration platform for models coming through the alliance, and our AI platform offerings, including Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift AI, will be available to alliance members to support these activities.
The transformative power of AI
Artificial intelligence has become a transformative force that opens new possibilities almost daily. Foundational models and generative AI can revolutionize how we work, live, learn, and interact with each other. Red Hat recognizes the fundamental role that open innovation plays in harnessing the full potential of AI, and we are thrilled to be able to contribute to this collective effort.
The strength of collective potential
The emergence of generative AI has demonstrated the art of the possible. As a founding member of AI Alliance, Red Hat recognizes the collective potential that arises from a diverse and open ecosystem. This alliance brings together a plethora of institutions, from small businesses and academic centers to scientific agencies and large corporations. Red Hat believes that the opportunity to create technology that benefits society on a large scale can only be done openly. We believe that a wide range of perspectives is indispensable in shaping the evolution of AI in a way that truly reflects the needs and complexities of our societies. Open innovation can democratize access to technology and research, which in our view not only translates to greater progress and at a faster pace, but can also help create talent and the necessary pathways to sustainable benefits.
Advocacy for responsible AI
AI Alliance is not just about creating cutting-edge technologies; it is a commitment to advocating for a future in which innovation knows no bounds. Red Hat is dedicated to contributing to the creation of an open ecosystem that ensures responsible AI. This includes advocating for principles such as scientific rigor, trust, ethics, resilience, and responsibility as AI advances to new frontiers.
A call to action for the entire industry
As we embark on this exciting journey with AI Alliance, we call on the entire technology community to action. Together, we can build, support, and advocate for open innovation in AI. Red Hat is excited about the potential that lies ahead and is committed to playing a key role in shaping the future of AI for the benefit of people and society worldwide.
With a willingness to collaborate and innovate, let’s pave the way for a future where the transformative power of AI is harnessed responsibly, ethically, and with limitless possibilities.
