At the IBM Think conference, IBM announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to make the full range of IBM offerings within the Watsonx data and artificial intelligence (AI) platform available for use with AWS services. This collaboration aims to facilitate the scaling of AI across enterprises through an open hybrid approach with end-to-end governance.
The integration of IBM watsonx.governance and Amazon SageMaker will assist customers in managing model risk and meeting compliance obligations, particularly in response to regulatory requirements such as the EU AI Law. This integration will be available in the AWS Marketplace alongside existing offers like watsonx.ai and watsonx.data.
Ritika Gunnar, General Manager of Product Management, Data and AI at IBM, highlighted the importance of IBM’s open AI and hybrid cloud strategy in enabling businesses to derive value from AI with their trusted data across different technologies and locations. The combination of IBM’s AI governance with Amazon SageMaker offers customers flexibility, scalability, and integration with other AWS services.
Watsonx.governance and Amazon SageMaker will be available in June to help customers streamline workflows, accelerate AI initiatives, and manage AI in complex IT environments effectively. The collaboration between IBM and AWS aims to address the delicate balance between rapid generative AI progression and governance concerns faced by organizations.
Watsonx.data is also available on AWS to simplify access, visualization, and transformation of data for generative AI workloads. The open data lake on AWS allows customers to access data in hybrid environments, including Db2 Warehouse, Netezza, Amazon RDS for Db2, and AWS services like Amazon S3.
In addition to the Watsonx platform, IBM offers various software products and consulting services on AWS Marketplace to support customers in different countries. The collaboration between IBM and AWS is focused on empowering businesses to leverage generative AI effectively and safely to drive workflow improvements and deliver greater value.
IBM Research utilizes a hybrid cloud approach to train large language models like IBM Granite series, leveraging infrastructure from both on-premises and AWS environments. IBM Consulting is expanding its Generative AI expertise on AWS to help customers implement responsible AI frameworks with watsonx.governance and Amazon SageMaker.
