Insider Brief IBM is expanding research collaborations with IIT Bombay and IISc covering agentic AI, sovereign AI, multimodal systems, AI infrastructure and quantum computing.

The IIT Bombay collaboration will focus on Indic language models, multimodal AI, software programming education, knowledge retrieval and AI infrastructure.

With IISc, IBM researchers will continue a collaboration that began in 2021, which covers agentic systems, AI for applications, and quantum computing algorithm development.

Multimodal AI systems: The collaboration will also focus on developing multimodal AI systems that strengthen software programming education, human-AI collaboration and intelligent operations across hybrid cloud environments.

Quantum Computing: Exploring orchestration for quantum and high-performance computing to accelerate scientific discovery through more efficient quantum-centric supercomputing workflows and next-generation quantum-HPC algorithms.
