Lockheed Martin Adds IBM Granite to its Suite of Next-Generation AI Factory Tools
By leveraging this integration, Lockheed Martin and IBM aim to set new standards for innovation to help streamline mission-critical insights and enhance decision-making capabilities across defense and aerospace domains.
"To have the best AI capability available to our customers, we continue to invest and innovate in AI across our portfolio," said Dr. Steven H. Walker , Lockheed Martin vice president and chief technology officer. "A critical pillar of the strategy is integrating the best capabilities available in the commercial world with our already demonstrated and deployed industry leading AI products and technology."
"IBM is excited to work with Lockheed Martin to bring the power of our Granite large language models to their AI factory," said Vanessa Hunt , technology general manager, U.S. federal market, IBM. "Collaborations like ours, built on a foundation of responsibility and open innovation, are critical to shaping a future where AI significantly contributes to defense without compromising security, capability, readiness or societal values."
Lockheed Martin aligns AI initiatives with the U.S. Defense Department's five AI Ethics principles – Responsible, Equitable, Traceable, Reliable, and Governable – ensuring that all projects adhere to these core tenets. To foster a deep understanding of AI ethics across the corporation, Lockheed Martin has developed and implemented an internal AI ethics training program to equip employees with an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of AI so they can apply the technology in a responsible way.
The complexity of the global security environment is evolving rapidly, so Lockheed Martin is providing 21st Century Security® solutions through collaboration with national security customers, technology and telecommunications companies, and U.S. allies and strategic partners around the world.
