Global AI company Univers has launched the world’s first Global Impact AI Lab (IAL) in partnership with AMD, Microsoft, and the National University of Singapore (NUS), with support from Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
According to Univers, the lab aims to speed up the development of large-scale AI and Internet of Things (IoT) innovations. It will bring together experts from technology, government, and academia to create powerful edge-to-cloud intelligence solutions faster and more effectively.
The IAL will focus on using AI to improve energy, infrastructure, transport, and manufacturing industries. It will work on three main goals:
Energy efficiency – Using AI to optimize how energy is generated, stored, and used.
Operational efficiency – Making operations smarter by connecting assets, systems, and processes for better performance.
System efficiency – Using AI to connect different sectors like energy and infrastructure, creating smarter, unified ecosystems.
The launch took place at the One Univers event, officiated by Tan Kiat How, Singapore’s Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information highlighting Singapore’s strong support for AI and digital innovation through public–private collaboration.
“The IAL unites leading industry and academic expertise to transform innovation into enterprise advantage,” said Michael Ding, Global Executive Director of Univers.
