Ericsson has launched the initiative Cognitive Labswith which he seeks to give a IMPULSE TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Specifically, in AI open source. Cognitive Labs focuses on its work on advanced technologies, such as neuronal graphic networks (GNN), active learning and large language models (LLM) that Ericsson uses for the development of its solutions and that the company believes that they will be fundamental For the next generation of mobile communications.
This initiative will not have a concrete physical headquarters, and will operate virtually with equipment and activities that will in principle be located in Madrid, Malaga and Cairo. In addition to reinforcing its commitment to innovation and efficiency in technological solutions with the initiative, Ericsson also seeks with it to extend its activity to other sectors of which society benefits, such as health.
Cognitive Labs will be developed in collaboration with the Open Source community, which will give rise to the company to attract researchers and data scientists to create more useful solutions for its customers. In addition, as part of the commitment that the company has acquired with the Open Source community, Cognitive Labs has created three different laboratories to nest its research activities and develop Open Source bookstores offered as reusable components.
The first of them, Gai Lab (artificial geometric Intelligence Lab), is focused on the research of geometric AI, the explainability in learning based on data geometry, the generation of graphs and neural networks of temporal graphs (temporary GNNS). The activity developed in this laboratory is expected to have a remarkable impact on other areas, such as the development of new medications and the search for more effective treatments.
The second of the laboratories is called MLR LAB (Machine Learning and Reasoning Lab), and is dedicated to optimizing models training processes, as well as learning by reinforcement. The research of the team that will work in it aims to save time and energy in the training of AI models. Also contribute to the development of digital twins.
FAI LAB (Artificial Foundation Intelligence Lab, the third of these laboratories, focuses on the creation of advanced models of AI, such as LLM. Its objective is The telecommunications area.
In view of where its cognitive Labs headquarters will have initially, Spain is one of its reference regions thanks to the R&D activities that Ericsson develops in Madrid and Malaga around Cognitive Network Solutions (CNS).
This is also reinforced with the Agreement reached by the company with the Pontifical University of Comillasthrough its Higher Technical School of Engineering (Comillas Icai). This agreement, research with the university, seeks collaborate with her in Open Source initiatives and joint publications.
