GENT
The GENT project primarily seeks to address the implementation of generative AI in regional companies and organizations. This represents largely untapped potential in developing and enhancing business operations. Generative AI models (large language models, LLMs) offer a unique, resource-efficient, and affordable way to explore and enhance different aspects of business operations (applying and experimenting with language models).

Who is involved in implementing the GENT project, and what expertise supports the project?

The GENT project is implemented by Tampere University’s GPT-Lab research group, together with experts appointed to the project. The team brings together expertise in generative AI, software engineering, business development, research, and practical collaboration with companies. This page introduces the project team members and experts who support the project’s activities.

The GPT-Lab research group was established in 2023 and is led by Professor Pekka Abrahamsson. More information about the group is available on the GPT-Lab website. You can also follow the research group on LinkedIn, where AI-related news and current topics are regularly shared. More information about the project’s objectives, implementation, and official project details is available on the project page. We operate internationally while also being strongly involved in supporting the development of companies and organizations in the Satakunta region.
