IT giant, Infosys, has announced a collaboration with the Stanford University Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (Stanford HAI), a leading organisation shaping the future of AI. As a new member, Infosys will work closely with the institute’s esteemed faculty and researchers on pioneering AI initiatives.

James Landay, Stanford HAI Co-Director, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration and said, “Together, we hope to push the boundaries of AI research and develop solutions that are ethical, trustworthy, and impactful.”

This partnership will focus on key areas including responsible AI, addressing the complex technical, policy, and governance challenges that enterprises face.

And in June, GitHub partnered with Infosys to launch the first GitHub Center of Excellence in Bangalore. This initiative aimed to leverage AI and advanced software solutions to drive global economic growth.
