IBM and Meta's AI Alliance Launched This Week | The Gestalt IT Rundown: December 6, 2023

IBM and Facebook parent company Meta have decided to advocate for a more open approach to AI. They've announced a joint AI Alliance group. The companies are part of a growing trend that sees advocates arguing that AI shouldn't be proprietary and closed. Also signing on to the alliance are Dell, Sony, AMD, Intel, and several other AI startups. The group seems to stand in opposition to companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft who are focused on creating AI rules that favor outcomes that will put them on top, as well as top dog NVIDIA. 0:00 - Welcome to the Rundown 0:55 - VAST Data Upgraded in Two Ways 3:29 - Intel Gets Reprieve from VLSI Patent Ruling 6:22 - Meta Takes On All the RISC-V 10:26 - Aviz Networks Gets Funding Round 13:45 - NetApp Revs FSx for ONTAP in AWS 16:24 - Broadcom Issues Return to Office Order for VMware 22:10 - IBM and Meta's AI Alliance Launched This Week 35:52 - The Weeks Ahead 38:00 Thanks for Watching Follow our Hosts on Social Media Tom Hollingsworth: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/NetworkingNerd⁠⁠⁠ Stephen Foskett: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/SFoskett⁠⁠⁠  Follow Gestalt IT Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.GestaltIT.com/⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/GestaltIT⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/Gestalt-IT Tags: #Rundown, #AI, #AIAlliance, #RISCV, #AWS, @Meta, @IBM, @IntelBusiness, @VAST_Data, @AvizNews, @AMD, @NetApp, @Broadcom, @VMware, @SFoskett, @NetworkingNerd, @GestaltIT, @DellTech, @AMD, @Sony, @Google, @OpenAI,
