IBM and FAPESP, who will co-run the centre, will contribute $500,000 each.

According to the scientific director at FAPESP, Luiz Eugênio Mello, AI offers “an infinite number of possibilities”, and that is illustrated by the current activity in that area around medical research during the Covid-19 pandemic, with AI tools bringing more effectiveness and time savings. “For FAPESP, a partnership with a company like IBM is a milestone in a strategic area for the future”, Melo noted.

C4AI will have its main location in the University of São Paulo campus, along with a secondary facility in the Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (ICMC), in the city of São Carlos on another campus operated by USP.
