IT major Wipro on Wednesday announced the launch of a new Center of
Excellence on generative artificial intelligence (AI) in partnership
with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi.
The Wipro CoE
on Generative AI is anchored within the Yardi School of Artificial
Intelligence (ScAI) at IIT Delhi, and will support foundational and
applied research, nurture talent, and expand the state of the art in
this critical field.
The partnership is part of the company’s
$1 billion commitment to accelerating AI-led innovation as part of the
Wipro ai360 ecosystem.
“This collaboration will not only
enhance our research & development capabilities in emerging areas,
such as generative AI, but will also connect us with a talent pool that
will help us build advanced solutions to address existing and emerging
business problems,” said Subha Tatavarti, Chief Technology Officer at
Wipro.
The CoE will serve as an R&D hub, bringing together
Wipro researchers with ScAI faculty members and graduate students to
address at-scale real-world problems.
“Collaborating with the
eminent and multidisciplinary faculty at IIT Delhi and its research
partner ecosystem will help us realise our vision of engineered
prosperity faster," said Dr Ajay Chander, Head of Research and
Development at Wipro.
Wipro CoE teams will jointly work on building innovative solutions using AI, ML (machine learning) and other technologies.
“Through
the creation of this Center of Excellence, our students will gain
valuable insight into problems of relevance to industry and will learn
first-hand how their technical know-how transfers to commercial
environments,” said Professor Mausam, Head of the Yardi School of AI at
IIT Delhi.
