Fujitsu expands partnership with Nvidia on full-stack AI infrastructure

Fujitsu Ltd on Friday announced the expansion of its "strategic collaboration" with Nvidia Corp to integrate artificial intelligence agents using full-stack AI infrastructure.

"The initiative aims to bolster enterprises' competitive edge through AI, while preserving their autonomy in AI utilisation," Kawasaki, Japan-based Fujitsu said.

The information technology services company noted that currently, "high costs and technical hurdles can make [AI] challenging to deploy, which confines its benefits primarily to large enterprises".

Fujitsu and Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker Nvidia aim to co-develop and deliver an AI agent platform for industry-specific agents, to be used in sectors like robotics, healthcare and manufacturing. Additionally, they intend to produce an AI computing infrastructure to integrate the Fujitsu-Monaka CPU series and Nvidia GPUs via Nvidia NVLink Fusion.

Fujitsu said that specifically, it aims to accelerate manufacturing using digital twins, use "physical AI" including robotics to fill labour shortages with operational automation, and to "stimulate human innovation".

The agents will "continuously learn and improve", Fujitsu said, enabling "cross-industry, self-evolving, full-stack AI infrastructure, overcoming the limitations of general-purpose computing systems".

"Through this initiative, Fujitsu aims to transform industries starting in Japan, fostering widespread AI adoption that expands globally, thereby enhancing competitiveness across all sectors and contributing to a sustainable society," the firm stated.

Fujitsu and Nvidia aim to "[establish] this AI infrastructure as an indispensable social foundation for Japan's digital society by 2030," the former added.
