Infosys partners with Linux Foundation to enhance AI ethics

Infosys has commenced a collaboration with Linux Foundation Networking (LFN) to promote responsible adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across global networks.

Infosys has contributed its Responsible AI Toolkit and AI application development framework to the Salus and Essedum projects.

These initiatives are part of Infosys Topaz AI offerings, with Salus providing advanced technical methodologies for identifying and averting AI-associated risks such as bias and privacy breaches.

Essedum, on the other hand, is designed to speed up the integration of AI in the networking industry through Infosys' AI application development framework.

Arpit Joshipura, General Manager, Networking, Edge and IoT at the Linux Foundation, highlighted the significance of this development, stating, "Our efforts to further domain-specific AI are coming to fruition with the addition of these new projects, and we are incredibly grateful to Infosys for their contributions."

"Creating combined, open and unified frameworks will only accelerate AI-driven innovation," he added.

"By introducing accessible solutions for Responsible AI and integrating data sharing, domain-specific AI tools, and application development under one roof, we are enabling the industry to build smarter, more efficient networks."

Mohammed Rafee Tarafdar, Chief Technology Officer at Infosys, also underscored the company's dedication to innovative solutions.

"At Infosys, we are deeply committed to advancing innovation that solves complex challenges while upholding transparency, fairness, and trust."

"Our collaboration with the Linux Foundation is a testament to our shared vision of embedding Responsible AI principles into actionable solutions," he added.

"Linux Foundation's efforts in driving excellence in open-source networking projects have been remarkable. With our strong AI capabilities, powered by Infosys Topaz, we actively support this endeavor, helping organizations harness domain-specific AI responsibly and effectively across global networks."

This collaboration aligns both organisations in their mission to foster ethical and sustainable AI expanse on a worldwide scale, underscoring a unified commitment to creating transparent, fair, and trust-centric technologies.
