SUNY-IBM AI Research Alliance

The SUNY-IBM AI Collaborative Research Alliance is a strategic partnership between two institutions with broad and deep expertise and a commitment to advancing the state of the art in AI. Research and development projects conducted under this alliance will focus on AI science, applications, and hardware, promoting both scientific outputs and technology commercialization opportunities. This alliance is part of a $2B partnership between the State of NY, SUNY, and IBM to create a global research hub for developing next-generation AI hardware.

The management and organizational structure of the SUNY-IBM AI Research Alliance is designed to promote collaboration and partnership at all levels of engagement. Alliance activities are overseen by a leadership team comprising of senior representatives from SUNY and IBM. A Scientific Advisory Council of distinguished faculty members and research leaders from the two institutions provides strategic direction and guidance. Research projects are jointly envisioned and conducted by SUNY faculty and IBM researchers.

The first set of research projects launched in 2020 span AI applications in healthcare, hardware for next generation AI systems, and AI driven modeling and simulation.
