In a significant move towards establishing Telangana as a powerhouse in artificial intelligence (AI), the state government inked 21 agreements during the two-day Global Artificial Intelligence Summit (GAIS), which kicked off in Hyderabad on Thursday. The MoUs, signed with leading educational institutions, technology giants, and seed companies, align with Telangana’s ambitious ‘AI-based Telangana’ initiative aimed at driving development through AI.

These agreements span seven key sectors, focusing on enhancing computing infrastructure, establishing centres of excellence, fostering skill development, encouraging startup innovation, advancing generative AI, promoting research and collaboration, and supporting data annotation.

Notably, two agreements were made to strengthen AI computing infrastructure. Yetta will establish a state-of-the-art AI data centre in Hyderabad, complete with GPU-based AI cloud technology, while the government partnered with PATH and Nazara Technologies to create a Center of Excellence dedicated to AI advancements in public health, e-sports, mobile gaming, interactive media, and digital content.

In the field of talent development, MoUs were signed with Nextwave, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft, aiming to equip 2.5 lakh students and professionals with AI skills, fostering a new generation of AI experts in Telangana.

A collaboration with Meta will enhance AI-driven e-governance and civic services, using Meta’s open-source generative AI technologies, including the Llama 3.1 model, to improve efficiency across government departments. Additionally, a three-year MoU with Nvidia Corporation will accelerate AI development in the state, providing AI training to 5,000 students from 200 technical and higher education institutions.

Another MoU with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) will support AI research, furthering Telangana’s mission to leverage AI for critical development sectors.
