Open Source Collaborative AI Development in the Enterprise NeuroSystem Group

The Enterprise Neurosystem Group is an AI and machine learning (ML) open source research community effort which includes representatives from several large and small industrial and academic institutions. The goal of the group is to facilitate the development of technologies, documentation and best practices which are needed to create the enterprise nervous system, a large interconnected collection of various AI models that can provide a C-suite executive with insights into all aspects of corporate operations in real-time. The academic partners in this group include Stanford Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Harvard Analytics and University of Cali- fornia Berkeley’s Data-X program. The industrial participants include personnel from America Movil, Reliance Jio, Equinix, Ericsson AI, IBM Research, Intel, Kove, Penguin Computing, PerceptiLabs, Seagate and Yahoo! In this paper, we perform a case study on this group, with an overview of its vision, its structure, and different activities within the group.
