IBM has announced the acquisition of the data lineage platform Manta to enhance its AI governance capabilities. Manta will help IBM increase the transparency of AI models to determine whether the right data is being used to build AI systems. Manta also assists enterprises in discovering and anonymizing sensitive data to reduce the risk of leaks. IBM and Manta have been collaborating since June 2022 to provide functionality in IBM's AI governance. Manta's clients include well-known companies such as T-Mobile, BMO, and J.B. Hunt.
