LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
V-Soft Consulting has joined the University of Louisville (UofL) College of Business to help start the Artificial Intelligence Innovation Consortium (AIIC). The AIIC is a Louisville-based think tank of IT and advanced technology thought leaders focusing on how AI can propel organizations and the community forward. Other founding members include industry leaders such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), General Electric Appliances (GEA), and Amgen.
Specifically, the AIIC was created to build standards and best practices that help drive AI adoption, evolve privacy, data governance and bias, guiding principles, and effectively align AI evolution.
Purna Veer, President of V-Soft, said aligning with UofL to develop the AIIC is a great way to help businesses of all sizes understand the applicability of AI and steps to adopt AI in their business.
“I’m happy to work with UofL and other leading businesses to create this consortium,” said Veer. “It’s an opportunity to show how much tech talent we have in the region and share the many groundbreaking uses of AI in business.”
On November 22, 2019, the AIIC hosted its inaugural event at UofL. The event included a keynote by V-Soft AI and IoT Practice Head Konrad Konarski and breakout session for various AI topics such as design thinking, chatbots, and computer vision lead by experts from UofL, AWS, V-Soft, and IBM.
Future plans of the AIIC include dedicated industry-specific incubators at UofL known as the InnovaLab where students and startups can leverage the lab’s technology and utilize consortium experts to bring AI concepts to life.
