Aiming to lead the nation in Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution, the Andhra Pradesh government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with American Technology company, Nvidia Corp, to provide skill-training to almost 10,000 students of engineering and 500 start-ups.
In a post on social media platform X, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu wrote on Saturday: “Andhra Pradesh is welcoming bold initiatives to lead India’s AI revolution. Under the leadership of Hon’ble IT Minister @naralokesh Garu, we have entered into an MoU with @nvidia to build a strong and inclusive AI ecosystem in the state.”
As part of the MoU signed between both the sides, the tech giant will provide support to the state in preparing curriculum and training for engineering students over the next two years. As many as 500 AI start-ups from the state would also be able to gain access to its Inception Program for global exposure and key resources, the CM said.
Naidu further revealed plans to establish India’s first AI University in collaboration with NVIDIA to shape the infrastructure and research capabilities.
“From education and skilling to research and innovation, this initiative is laying the foundation for a Swarna Andhra Pradesh,” he added.
The state government has also announced the development of India’s first Quantum Computing Village, to be developed on a 50-acre facility in Amaravati and envisioned as a pioneering ecosystem for quantum computing research and collaboration.
The facility is slated to be a collaborative ecosystem where institutions and companies can access and share advanced quantum computing resources.
It will also include a dedicated on-site data centre to support high-performance computing needs. IBM and TCS will jointly finalise the infrastructure specifications, with the initial setup set to host the IBM Quantum System Two.
