  • Summary

  • Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is on everyone’s lips and is part of everyone’s life. We can find it in our phones, our cars, and even in our coffee machines. Companies are investing massively in this technology and especially in its research. Canadian expertise has been recognized around the world for decades and many consider Montreal to be the centre of this industry. But is this true? Can Montreal compete with giants like Boston or San Francisco? Is it conceivable to think that Quebec’s largest city could be considered the center of such a great technological revolution? This is what Mathiew Leiser is going to find out in this podcast.

    Research and continued public funding are the main reasons behind the development of AI in Quebec's largest city and in Canada more broadly.  The country has never stopped believing in its researchers, be they Canadian or from abroad, and has even achieved a world first in terms of investment in artificial intelligence. These investments have led to the creation of major hubs across the country. Montreal being one of them, several institutes and clusters have been created in the city. It is all this research that we will explore in this episode to help us understand the singular character of Montreal.
