Swedish networking and telecom major Ericsson on Thursday said it had
opened a global Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerator in this tech
hub for research and development (R&D) in AI and Automation.
"The
new facility will accelerate our execution strategy by leveraging AI
and Automation technologies to create data driven, intelligent and
robust systems for automation, evolution and growth," said the company
in a statement here.
The Bengaluru facility will create 150 jobs
for data scientists, engineers, Machine Learning (ML) and AI architects
and software developers in 2019.
"The accelerator in Bengaluru is
a testament to our commitment to India, the rich talent pool and the
vibrant ecosystem in the country," said Ericsson R&D Bengaluru head
Sanjeev Tyagi.
The facility has been set up as a central unit to
speed up projects in the company's four business areas and customer
projects in five market areas.
The Stockholm-based telco had set up a similar facility in Sweden and the US early in 2018.
Many
projects are underway to bring in AI and Automation capabilities to the
company's products in business areas. The results so far demonstrated
the potential that intelligent leveraging of data can bring in telecom.
"With
the advent of 5G and IoT (Internet of Things), we foresee a huge
potential ways in which networks will be used, as traditional methods of
managing and running networks will no longer scale," said Tyagi on the
occasion.
As AI/ML driven automation will be needed to manage
networks, the data-centric technologies open up the potential to tap new
revenue generating opportunities and business models for the telecom
service providers.
The company will also explore partnerships
with service providers, industry stakeholders, start-ups and academia to
bolster innovation.
"Our endeavour is to spur innovations that
are easy to use, adapt and scale, enabling our customers to capture the
value of connectivity," added Tyagi.
Globally, about 300 data
scientists, data engineers, ML/AI architects and software developers
will be employed in the company's three accelerators.
