The Andhra Pradesh government is set to enhance its Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure and skill development by signing agreements with various institutions and companies at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi. An MoU will be inked with IBM to provide AI, quantum technology, and cybersecurity training to one million youth in the state. Additionally, an agreement with the United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) will establish a Quantum and AI Centre of Excellence.
Another collaboration will see the state partnering with NIELIT to establish a Quantum AI University in Andhra Pradesh. IIT Madras will work with the government to introduce an Artificial Intelligence Tutor initiative, while NVIDIA will assist in setting up AI Living Labs in the region. The signing of these MoUs is scheduled for Friday in the presence of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
