In this RedMonk Conversation with Keri Olson, IBM VP of AI for code, we discuss IBM's approach to generative AI, focusing on domain specific use cases, such as AI-driven application modernization for IBM's Z Mainframe platform with IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Z. IBM is training dedicated models for these use cases, to give customers something they won't find with competitors' models. For example COBOL to Java conversion, with models trained to support all of IBM's mainframe subsystems such as CICS. Olson explains why IBM will allow customers to use AI for specific use cases while maintaining data privacy, security and customer trust. IBM also offers IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed, to enable operators to be more productive in using Ansible infrastructure as code for large scale systems.
