Why it matters
This collaboration bridges the gap between academic training and industry requirements in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.
Alva’s Institute of Engineering and Technology (AIET), Moodbidri, on Wednesday, launched an artificial intelligence (AI) lab developed in collaboration with IBM Software Labs.
A release from AIET said this is the first-ever IBM AI Lab in an engineering college in India. The lab has been set up with the objective of strengthening industry-academia collaboration and providing students access to enterprise-grade AI technologies.
Powered by IBM watsonx.ai, watsonx Orchestrate and AI-assisted developer tools, the lab will provide hands-on exposure to enterprise AI platforms and real-world applications. IBM experts also began a two-day training programme covering foundation models, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents, workflow orchestration and AI-assisted software development.
The lab will serve as a centre of excellence for innovation, research, and skill development, providing students with direct exposure to enterprise AI platforms and real-world applications.
