Indian Institute of Technology Madras’ (IIT Madras)  Centre for Responsible AI (CeRAI) announced that it is partnering  Ericsson for joint research in the area of Responsible AI. To commemorate the occasion, a Symposium on Responsible AI for Networks of the Future was organized where leaders from Ericsson Research and IIT Madras participated to discuss the developments and advancements in the field of Responsible AI.

 

During the event held at the IIT Madras campus, Ericsson signed an agreement to partner with CeRAI as a ‘Platinum Consortium Member’ for five years. Under this MoU, Ericsson Research will support and participate in all research activities at CeRAI.

 

The Centre for Responsible AI is an interdisciplinary research centre that envisions becoming a premier research centre for both fundamental and applied research in Responsible AI with immediate impact in deploying AI systems in the Indian ecosystem.

 

AI Research is of high importance to Ericsson as the 6G networks would be autonomously driven by AI algorithms.
