Sonata Software has entered into a partnership with the Wharton AI & Analytics Initiative (WAIAI) at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School to advance research and development in agentic AI. This collaboration aims to explore enterprise-level use of AI systems, with a focus on responsible adoption, governance, and human-AI collaboration.
The two organizations will jointly assess agentic AI technologies, particularly from the standpoint of regulatory compliance and ethical safeguards. A key part of this effort will involve refining Sonata’s own platform, AgentBridge, to ensure it meets enterprise demands while aligning with evolving standards in AI deployment.
The partnership will also support ongoing research efforts at WAIAI, contributing to broader academic understanding of AI’s role in enterprise settings. A one-day academic event is planned for Fall 2025, bringing together voices from both academia and industry to explore real-world applications and challenges of agentic AI. The event will include demos and discussions, culminating in a white paper that will summarize the key insights and offer recommendations for enterprise adoption.
This marks Sonata Software’s first academic collaboration with a U.S.-based Ivy League institution and adds to its ongoing AI-focused initiatives, including a partnership with the Indian Institute of Science aimed at promoting responsible AI in research and development.
