Thoughtworks announced a strategic collaboration with AI Singapore to drive innovation to help make GenAI reliable through developing novel methods, tools and best practices that meaningfully evaluate GenAI applications. The unique challenges of GenAI, stemming from its reliance on massive datasets and complex algorithms, pose a significant threat to its widespread adoption. The collaboration, formalized at the Public Sector Day Singapore organized by AWS and GovInsider, through a Memorandum of Understanding, is the second of its kind between Thoughtworks and AI Singapore.
Specifically, the agreement involves accelerating the development and deployment of AI applications by providing: Joint research and training initiatives: Engaging in collaborative research projects to explore cutting-edge AI and analytics technologies, while simultaneously developing and delivering training programs to foster competence in the field. Collaborative knowledge and infrastructure exchange: Promoting knowledge sharing with access to Thoughtworks' expertise in lean product development, agile practices and cloud technologies. This is coupled with software tools and an exchange of resources to drive research and development, while simultaneously establishing a collaborative infrastructure to support joint research and facilitate technology transfer.
This MOU will involve collaboration with the Thoughtworks AI research team to advance research and expertise in independently evaluating the accuracy, efficacy, costs and risks of large language models. These technology-driven capabilities will enable organizations to accelerate time-to-value for their AI initiatives, helping them move beyond proof-of-concept stages and into full-scale production, unlocking a wider range of use cases.
