AI partnership takes a step in the Ryght direction
As part of a burgeoning strategic partnership, the 成人大片 and California-based leading enterprise generative AI (GenAI) technology company Ryght have signed an MOU that will help to lift South Australia鈥檚 capability in the artificial intelligence sector.
The collaboration will provide the University with access to the Ryght AI platform to enable and accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) use cases across grant and industry-funded local, state and federal government initiatives 鈥 all from an Adelaide hub.
The partnership will further help establish South Australia as a leader in the Australian AI and biotech industries. It will foster collaborative research, development, and commercialisation initiatives between the two parties.
As a leader in health and life sciences, the 成人大片 contributes significantly to Adelaide BioMed City. Adelaide BioMed City鈥檚 extensive health datasets will be instrumental in harmonising Ryght鈥檚 software platform with these data assets, thereby enhancing the platform鈥檚 capabilities and South Australia鈥檚 effectiveness in the health and life sciences sectors.
Professor Anton Middelberg, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) said that the University鈥檚 partnership with Ryght exemplifies its commitment to advancing world-class research that addresses societal challenges.
鈥淩yght鈥檚 expertise in GenAI aligns perfectly with the 成人大片鈥檚 strengths in health and life sciences, particularly within the Adelaide BioMed City precinct,鈥 said Professor Middelberg.
鈥淭his partnership will provide Ryght with access to highly qualified AI researchers from the 成人大片 who are embedded in clinical and biomedical research, giving the company an edge in the competitive race to work with the best AI talent.鈥
The partnership with Ryght will provide a locally managed, sovereign, secure, and industry-tuned AI software platform to accelerate groundbreaking AI, research, and innovation. The 成人大片's Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) is at the forefront of AI research, further enhancing its reputation as a leader in technology and innovation.
California-based Simon Arkell, the Co-founder and CEO of Ryght and a two-time Australian Olympian, shared his excitement about the partnership.
"As an Adelaide native now based in Silicon Valley, I am thrilled to introduce Ryght鈥檚 advanced AI technology to my homeland,鈥 he remarked.
鈥淥ne of my co-founders, Alex, and I both proudly attended the 成人大片, making this collaboration with the University a major milestone for us and for Ryght.
鈥淚t also holds the promise of positioning South Australia as a global leader in AI, research, and biotechnology. By merging our technological prowess with the University鈥檚 exceptional research capabilities, we aim to foster a dynamic AI ecosystem that will drive innovation and tackle critical public health issues."
Through this partnership, Ryght and the 成人大片 will engage in a variety of collaborative activities. These include accelerating research projects, developing new AI models, applications, and workflows, and deploying solutions nationwide at scale in a fully secure environment to solve some of the country鈥檚 biggest challenges.
The 成人大片鈥檚 Professor Mark Hutchinson, Interim Director of the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) and a Professor of Biomedicine, leads the University鈥檚 Neuroimmunopharmacology laboratory.
鈥淏y working together with Ryght, we can leverage our collective expertise to develop innovative, responsible and tested solutions for better public health and other critical issues and bring Australia鈥檚 AI capabilities up to world-class standards where they belong,鈥 said Professor Hutchinson.
