IBM announced the launch of its GenAI Innovation Centre in Kochi on Monday, designed to help enterprises, startups, and partners explore, experience, and develop generative AI technology.
According to IBM, many organizations find AI projects complex or difficult to integrate due to limited skills or expertise. The new centre aims to address this issue by providing access to IBM experts and technologies, enabling organizations to build, scale, and accelerate the adoption of enterprise-grade AI.
“AI is at the core of IBM’s growth strategy. We are strongly committed to building and collaborating with different ecosystems for AI. The GenAI Innovation Centre furthers IBM’s commitment to nurturing India’s AI community and catalyzing innovation through co-creation and collaboration with an aim to serve the country’s best interests of growing AI skilled talent, boosting organization productivity, and improving citizen services,” said Dinesh Nirmal, Senior Vice President, Products, IBM Software.
The centre is built on InstructLab, a technology jointly developed by IBM and Red Hat, designed to enhance large language models (LLMs) with a client’s own data. It will also leverage IBM’s watsonx AI and data platform and AI assistant technologies. The centre will provide clients with opportunities to learn about fine-tuning LLMs and collaborate with IBM on generative AI projects.
