Amazon and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have partnered to launch the CMU-Amazon AI Innovation Hub, reinforcing their commitment to advancing cutting-edge research through academic-private sector partnerships.
The Hub's initial focus areas will leverage both institutions' strengths in artificial intelligence and robotics, supporting research projects, Ph.D. fellowships, and workshops to foster collaboration with Amazon.
"The convergence of agentic AI, robotics, and natural-language processing represents an unprecedented opportunity to reshape how we live and work," said Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of agentic AI at Amazon Web Services.
By partnering with CMU, Amazon aims to create an ecosystem where breakthrough research can be rapidly transformed into solutions that benefit society at large.
