Introducing The AI Bill Of Materials
RedMonk, Wednesday, October 18,2023
What's in the black box? As we go forward we will need a model and machine readable bill of materials.
It's becoming increasingly clear that we're going to need an AI bill of Materials (AIBOM). Just as with a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), there are a set of potentially important questions when we take advantage of an AI model, which we're just not set up to meaningfully answer at the moment.
The You Only Live Once (YOLO) approach that OpenAI took when launching ChatGPT is not going to provide end users with the confidence they need to adopt AI models in strategic initiatives. Sure we'll see shadow AI adoption (like shadow IT adoption, but for AI tools), by marketing departments and sales and so on.
