“Today’s AI systems can interpret spoken commands, recognise objects and gestures, navigate, plan and make decisions, which are driving demand for even more powerful AI-driven experiences. The next wave of smart products and environments will require more advanced computing technologies like quantum and neuromorphic or brain-inspired computing to provide sustainable and responsive intelligence and enhance end-user experience across industries,” said Mahesh Zurale, senior managing director, lead – Advanced Technology Centers in India, Accenture.
The company has been collaborating with leading universities around the world to jointly develop forward-looking thought leadership, research, educational programs, and other activities. In India specifically, Accenture continues its collaborations with premier universities and research institutions, including multi-year research programs with the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in emerging areas, such as Responsible and Conversational AI.
“As a premier university and research institute in India, we are at the forefront of partnering with leading innovative organizations globally and are working on cutting edge research and development of products and technologies. The new Accenture Centre for Advanced Computing will focus on R&D activities in edge and neuromorphic computing to understand the potential impact of these technologies in industries and jointly develop new IP assets and research publications. We are pleased to see the swift progress made by both teams in a short time in this strategic initiative,” said Prof. Govindan Rangarajan, Director, IISc Bengaluru.
