A very good initiative from leading respected companies and institutions! (IF delivery of SAFE AI is mathematically provable)
“AI Alliance: Our Mission. The AI Alliance is focused on accelerating and disseminating open innovation across the AI technology landscape to improve foundational capabilities, safety, security and trust in AI, and to responsibly maximize benefits to people and society everywhere.”
The AI Alliance
A community of technology creators, developers and adopters collaborating to advance safe, responsible AI rooted in open innovation.
Our mission
The AI Alliance is focused on accelerating and disseminating open innovation across the AI technology landscape to improve foundational capabilities, safety, security and trust in AI, and to responsibly maximize benefits to people and society everywhere. The AI Alliance brings together a critical mass of compute, data, tools, and talent to accelerate open innovation in AI. The AI Alliance seeks to:
- Build and support open technologies across software, models and tools.
- Enable developers and scientists to understand, experiment, and adopt open technologies.
- Advocate for open innovation with organizational and societal leaders, policy and regulatory bodies, and the public.
- Open innovation in AI is essential. AI advancements are leading to new opportunities that can improve how we work, live, learn and interact with one another. Open and transparent innovation is essential to empower a broad spectrum of AI researchers, builders, and adopters with the information and tools needed to harness these advancements in ways that prioritize safety, diversity, economic opportunity and benefits to all.
- Meeting the challenges of open innovation. While there are many individual companies, start-ups, researchers, governments, and others who are committed to open science and open technologies and want to participate in the new wave of AI innovation, more collaboration and information sharing will help the community innovate faster and more inclusively, and identify specific risks and mitigate those risks before putting a product into the world.
Press Release:
- Meta. AI Alliance Launches as an International Community of Leading Technology Developers, Researchers, and Adopters Collaborating Together to Advance Open, Safe, Responsible AI. December 4, 2023

How the AI Alliance Will Work
The AI Alliance will begin its work with the formation of member-driven working groups across all major topical areas listed above. The Alliance will also establish a governing board and technical oversight committee dedicated to advancing the above project areas, as well as establishing overall project standards and guidelines. In addition to bringing together leading developers, scientists, academics, students, and business leaders in the field of artificial intelligence, the AI Alliance will plan to partner with important existing initiatives from governments, non-profit and civil society organizations who are doing valuable and aligned work in the AI space.
Who We Are
To ensure open innovation in AI benefits everyone and that it is built responsibly, the AI Alliance consists of a broad range of organizations that are working across aspects of AI education, research, development and deployment, and governance.
We are:
- The creators of the tooling driving AI benchmarking, trust and validation metrics and best practices, and application creation such as MLPerf, Hugging Face, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and open-source AI toolkits for explainability, privacy, adversarial robustness, and fairness evaluation.
- The universities and science agencies that educate and support generation after generation of AI scientists and engineers and push the frontiers of AI research through open science.
- The builders of the hardware and infrastructure that supports AI training and applications – from the needed GPUs to custom AI accelerators and cloud platforms;
- The champions of frameworks that drive platform software including PyTorch, Transformers, Diffusers, Kubernetes, Ray, Hugging Face Text generation inference and Parameter Efficient Fine Tuning.
- The creators of some of today’s most used open models including Llama2, Stable Diffusion, StarCoder, Bloom, and many others.
