How watsonx.governance will boost transparency
IBM today announced that watsonx.governance will be generally available in early December. This new tool is designed to enhance transparency and manage the complexities and risks associated with AI models. As generative AI, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) or Foundation Models, grows in use, it brings new challenges, such as unverifiable training data and non-explainable outputs. Watsonx.governance provides businesses with the tools to manage these risks, ensure transparency, and comply with forthcoming AI regulations.
“Company boards and CEOs are eager to benefit from today’s powerful AI models, but the risks associated with a lack of transparency and governance have been significant hurdles,” said Kareem Yusuf, Ph.D, Senior Vice President, Product Management and Growth, IBM Software. “Watsonx.governance is a comprehensive solution for businesses struggling to deploy and manage both LLM and ML models. It offers automated AI governance processes, model monitoring, and the ability to take corrective action, all with increased visibility. Its capability to translate regulations into enforceable policies will be crucial as new AI regulations emerge globally.”
IBM Consulting has also expanded its expertise to assist clients in scaling responsible AI, covering automated model governance and organisational governance, which includes people, processes, and technology from IBM and strategic partners. IBM consultants are skilled in establishing AI ethics boards, fostering organisational culture and accountability, providing training, managing regulatory and risk issues, and mitigating cybersecurity threats through human-centric design.
Watsonx.governance is part of the IBM watsonx AI and data platform, alongside AI assistants designed to help enterprises scale and accelerate the impact of AI. The platform includes the watsonx.ai next-generation enterprise studio for AI builders and the watsonx.data open, hybrid, and governed data store. IBM has also announced intellectual property protection for its IBM-developed watsonx models.
