Four-Year Research Collaboration To Scale Agentic Systems
Lloyds Banking Group and the University of Glasgow have launched a four-year research collaboration to study the use of agentic AI in software engineering. The program will embed academic researchers with Lloyds’ engineering teams and fund a PhD, a Masters by Research, and a postdoctoral role. The partnership aims to quantify the effects of agentic AI on output quality, development speed, and operational scaling, with the goal of scaling agentic systems across Lloyds’ software estate serving 28 million customers. This collaboration was reported by an unknown source.
