Joining the AI Alliance and Our Partnership with IBM & Meta

July 8, 2024

Today we are announcing some major developments for HydroX AI that mark an exciting time ahead as we continue expanding our work in enabling AI safety and building safe AI. It's hard to believe that as a company, we have yet to celebrate our 1-year anniversary since establishment. We are pleased to receive many positive endorsements on our work from across the industry and we remain grateful (and awed) at the opportunity of collaborating with some of the world's most innovative and prestigious partners.

To this end, we are excited to announce two big developments for HydroX AI.

The first is that we have officially joined the AI Alliance, an international community focused on enabling developers and researchers to accelerate responsible innovation in AI while ensuring scientific rigor, trust, safety, security, diversity and economic competitiveness.

When we were first presented with the opportunity to join such an impactful consortium, we saw a strong alignment between the Alliance's mission and our goal of fostering safe and responsible AI development and deployment. Through our work and conversations with the rest of the industry, we recognize that addressing AI safety & security concerns is a complex challenge while collaboration is key in unlocking the true power of this transformative technology. Our contribution will include resources and knowledge contribution while developing solutions alongside other member organizations that fit the needs of researchers, developers, and adopters around the world. It is a proud moment for all of us at HydroX AI, and we are hyper-energized for what is to come.

The second announcement is that we are partnering with the two founding members of the AI Alliance, IBM and Meta, on the evaluation of Gen AI models in high-risk industries.

Recent advancements in AI and machine learning have led to the development of sophisticated Large Language Models (LLMs) that promise significant benefits across various sectors. However, the application of these technologies in specialized and high-stakes domains such as healthcare, financial services, and legal that involve critical decision-making is yet to be fully explored.

The industry currently lacks both 1) benchmarks and 2) toolsets to evaluate LLMs. Each domain presents unique challenges and requirements, including the need for precision/safety, adherence to strict regulatory standards, and ethical considerations. For instance, in healthcare, an LLM must not only provide accurate medical information but also ensure patient confidentiality and comply with healthcare regulations. In financial services, the reliability and security of AI predictions are paramount to prevent costly errors or fraud. Similarly, in the legal sector, the implications of AI-assisted decisions can be profound, affecting outcomes in litigation or contract analysis. Evaluating LLMs within these contexts ensures they are safe, effective, and ethical for domain-specific applications, ultimately fostering trust and facilitating broader adoption in industries where errors can have significant consequences.

We are thrilled to work with two world-class organizations that boast both experience and expertise in open innovation. We can not wait to share the results of our joint collaboration!

Thank you for reading this. If you or your organization is building or looking to adopt AI safely, please reach out to us. We'd love to see if we can partner together!
