AI hub inaugurated in Mile Ex
An AI hub that’s a collective effort between UdeM, the HEC, the Polytechnique and McGill has been inaugurated in Mile Ex. (It’s called Le Mila, although probably not in honour of Brian Mulroney’s wife.) One of the aspects it’s supposed to be studying is the ethics of how AI is implemented in human society. I think, in retrospect, this will be told as a joke.

I just read an article about this AI Hub and it’ s financing subsidies from 2 levels of government in the 10s of millions of dollars. https://www.directioninformatique.com/le-mila-inaugure-ses-locaux-du-mile-ex/65354
