Hosts Aaron Fulkerson and Mark Hinkle sit down with Sriram Raghavan, Vice President of IBM Research AI, at the AllThingsOpen.ai conference. As an experienced industry expert, Sriram leads a global team of over 750 research scientists and engineers focused on advancing AI.
Sriram and IBM believe that the future of AI is open source. That’s why IBM recently contributed three AI projects — Docling, Data Prep Kit, and BeeAI — to the Linux Foundation. And while there is a lot of hype around LLMs right now, IBM is leaning into smaller “fit-for-purpose” models that give developers choice.
In the episode, Sriram also digs into:
- IBM’s approach to open-source models
- What innovations he sees coming for enterprise AI
- How his team is approaching responsible, secure AI
