Fetch.ai, a crypto artificial intelligence company built on Cosmos, announced the opening of its Innovation Lab in partnership with Imperial College London’s I-X Hub at the White City Campus.
The lab is set to become a major research center for AI, machine learning and autonomous systems and will extend Fetch.ai’s existing collaboration with the college to drive AI technology.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Sana Wajid, chief development officer at Fetch.ai Innovation Labs, said that the collaboration will help push “the boundaries of autonomous systems and machine learning.”
<blockquote>
 “[The collaboration] will provide a space for high-caliber researchers and students to work on real-world AI applications leveraging the Fetch.ai tech stack [and] create a vibrant ecosystem that nurtures talent, empowers startups, and enables the development of cutting-edge solutions to global challenges.”
