AI Sweden, a nonprofit center for applied artificial intelligence in the Nordic country, has integrated the Red Hat OpenShift containerization software product into its AI Labs platform, facilitating cross-organizational collaboration on developing AI models and applications.
Agneta Jacobson, AI Sweden’s director of strategic partnerships, described the offering from the Colorado-based software company as a “powerful tool” for AI Labs’ partners to bring their ideas to life.
AI Labs has a vendor-agnostic sandbox where collaboration among research teams from various institutions can be hosted. According to Red Hat, OpenShift’s open ecosystem is consistent with the lab’s goal to gather teams on a single application platform for collaboration at greater consistency. Through its solution, teams can experiment and integrate models into applications across the AI/machine learning life cycle, the company added.
“Bringing Red Hat OpenShift AI to AI Sweden’s sandbox enables us to support organizations in trying out new concepts that can be iterated quickly in a low-risk environment,” Steven Huels, Red Hat vice president and AI business unit general manager, said in a statement.
“This effort is all part of our laser focus to bring the right tools together on a unified platform to enable organizations to deploy revolutionary AI capabilities faster.”
In March, Red Hat announced that its Open Shift service, running on Amazon Web Services, has obtained the “Ready” designation from the U.S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program’s Joint Authorization Board.
With offices across Sweden and in Montreal, the government-funded AI Sweden has more than 120 partners from industry, the public sector and academia.
