Tech giant IBM announced on Monday the inauguration of its GenAI Innovation Center in Kochi, aimed at facilitating enterprises, startups, and partners in exploring and developing generative AI technology. This center is poised to accelerate AI innovation, enhance productivity, and bolster GenAI expertise in India, IBM stated in a press release.
The company emphasized that as organizations shift from experimenting with AI to deploying it for enhancing business value, they often encounter challenges in integration due to limited skills or expertise. The GenAI Innovation Center aims to address these challenges by providing organizations access to IBM’s experts and technologies tailored to assist in building, scaling, and expediting the adoption of enterprise-grade AI solutions.
Built upon InstructLab, a cutting-edge technology co-developed by IBM and Red Hat for advancing Large Language Models (LLMs) using client data, the center will leverage IBM’s ‘watsonx’ AI and data platform alongside AI assistant technologies. Situated within the IBM India Software Lab in Kochi, the GenAI Innovation Center will be overseen by IBM’s technical specialists.
With access to the latest generative AI technology, LLMs, real-world case studies, and guidance from IBM experts, the center aims to cultivate a community focused on harnessing generative AI’s potential to tackle societal and business challenges such as sustainability, public infrastructure, healthcare, education, and inclusion, IBM explained.
