GIA and IBM Research Join Forces!
Joined to Transform Diamond Grading! GIA (Gemological Institute of America), the world’s leading independent diamond identification and grading authority, and IBM Research, one of the world’s largest and most influential corporate research labs, have joined forces to develop an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system designed to revolutionize diamond clarity grading. The GIA AI clarity system is built on the standards of GIA’s universally recognized International Diamond Grading System. The AI is fueled by data from tens of millions of diamonds examined by GIA’s expert diamond graders in the Institute’s state-of-the-art grading laboratories around the world. “GIA is uniquely positioned to leverage AI and set a new bar in diamond grading standards,” said Tom Moses, GIA executive vice president and chief laboratory and research officer. “IBM’s AI technology combined with GIA’s expertise, extensive data and gemological research capabilities enables us to deliver advancements in
