Kochi, Kerala Digital University on Thursday entered into an agreement with the Alan Turing Institute of the University of Edinburgh to set up an Artificial Intelligence Center at the state's Digital Science Park.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which was exchanged at the International Conclave on Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) in the city.
"The signing of the MoU marks a significant step in the advancement of AI research and development between the two institutions, particularly with the arrival of basic models, AI hardware, robotics and GenAI," the state government said in a statement.
Dean of the Digital University, Alex James, exchanged the MoU with Sethu Vijayakumar, Director of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at the Alan Turing Institute and Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing at the University of Edinburgh.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Industry Minister P Rajeeve, Principal Secretary (Industries) A P M Mohmmed Hanish, Digital University Vice-Chancellor Saji Gopinath and Edinburgh University (South Asia) Principal Athulya Aravind .
The proposed Artificial Intelligence Center aims to foster innovation and research in AI, leveraging the expertise of the Alan Turing Institute, along with the strengths of the Kerala Digital University in AI chips and hardware, it said in a statement.
"The Center will focus on the latest advances in AI and robotics, including generative AI, which is expected to drive AI adoption, offer unmatched scalability and adapt to new scenarios and use cases.
"The collaboration underscores a shared commitment to advancing AI research and development, as the Digital Science Park AI Center will be a hub for cutting-edge research, fostering innovation and driving economic growth in the region." region," the statement says.
While the University of Edinburgh is one of the world's leading research universities focused on research, teaching and innovation, Alan Turing is the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence, collaborating with universities, companies and public institutions to promote the potential for global change. of data science and AI.
Digital University Kerala, as an initiative of the state government, seeks to promote digital innovation and entrepreneurship by providing world-class education and research opportunities in digital technologies and their applications.
The two days of deliberations have 17 sessions in total and will conclude on Friday evening.
