MIT AI Lab was recently awarded a $ 240 million license by IBM

IBMM has gained greater financial responsibility in the past. However, the value of money is important in the world of AI research.

MIT is not a newcomer to the field: The university is home to one of the first AI laboratories and is still considered a place to work in this sector. And MIT is also used to going with IBM. In 1950 IBM continued a computer for air defense systems simultaneously with the Lincoln MIT Laboratory, and in 1980 IBM Research and MIT were both

And MIT is also used to running with IBM. In 1950 IBM worked on a machine for air defense systems along with Lincoln Laboratory at MIT, and in 1980 IBM Research and MIT were both part of a consortium of superconductivity.

The new deal, which will last more than a decade, is the return of an educational partnership recently formed by other technology companies. In July, the DeepMind Alphabet group is bound to cultivate the appearance of its AI research with the University of Alberta in Canada. Alphabet and Microsoft have also made statements about funding to fund research at McGill University and the University of Montreal but the results of the contributions of both organizations in Montreal fell below $ 10 million.

"AI as a department has been going on for decades, but very clearly now has grown to a level of centrality for every major technological company, including us and frankly every other market and region," Dario Gil, vice president of AI and Q (for quantum) in IBM Research, told News.

Developers at the new AI Watson lab will work at the MIT school and nearby IBM Health and Safety facilities. Researchers will produce algorithms, look for hardware optimization including with quantum computing chips and check AI's advice in the community.
