CANADA IS SETTING UP A
NEW AI LAB IN MONTREAL

SETTING UP A NEW AI
LAB IN MONTREAL
In 2020, the number of Nobel Prize winners Canada has produced amounted to 15 winners. Some of them won
prizes in categories like chemistry, medicine, and physics. However, a major scientific survey done in 2012 on the
quality of Canadian research was okay. Canada's rank was in the fourth position globally. This was expected as the
country has good internet facilities that are accessible to almost all of its residents. It is among the countries that
have the highest number of internet users. This has made it easy for Canadians to access resources to conduct their
scientific research.
However, the field of AI is a broad one that needs the collaboration of various disciplines to make it work. For
instance, AI is used in the banking sector. This means that AI experts must collaborate with the finance sector to
integrate AI into the sector. The same goes for the use of AI in the healthcare sector. Since many AI professionals are
not medical practitioners, they must liaise with healthcare professionals to make things work. Otherwise, the
healthcare system they produce will not be effective. This is why the AI industry partners with other disciplines.


Therefore, educational institutions like McGill have collaborations to set up various research labs in Canada.
The name of the educational institution that has set up a new lab is called McGill University in Montreal. The lab is of
international standard that has advanced systems needed to start work.
REASONS FOR OPENING
THE LAB
The new lab called ILLS is a collaboration between
other technology and research institutes in other
Canadian states. The lab will be accessible to
researchers, students, and faculty that want to conduct
research in the AI field. Not only that, AI experts will be
employed to guide the students inside the lab.
The new lab was built because there is a lack of
adequate knowledge in the theoretical aspect of AI.
Knowledge of AI theory will help you handle the
practical aspect of AI. It is also helpful when you have to
handle new technology to solve real-life issues.
Teachers to teach students about AI.
Students to learn how to use AI systems to build new
technologies
Scientists to develop new AI systems.
Researchers to research how to use AI to improve society.
Researchers to conduct AI research in the laboratory.
Teachers, scientists, and so on to pool and acquire new
theoretical AI knowledge.
AI experts to collaborate with other industry experts to
produce innovative products. This collaboration will also bring
the development of new strategies and the integration of these
strategies into AI systems.
McGill's AI lab is a place for:
Aims and Objectives
RESEARCH TO BE
CONDUCTED IN THE
LAB
The use of Autonomous systems
Information and signals
processing
Vision system applications
How to use AI to process speech
How to use AI to process natural
language
Real-time sequential machine
learning
Applications of AI
CONCLUSION
According to Hershey Rosen, this is not the first time
Montreal to have a new AI Lab. However, the new lab is
important due to the influx of new students and researchers
in Montreal. The lab will cater to the increasing student
population and scientific community. Montreal has
garnered much attention from private and public investors,
which has led to the availability of funds. The funds helped
to develop well-equipped labs like McGill's lab and also
went towards AI research. This makes Montreal among the
top cities that have adequate funds for research. In addition,
this has opened up employment opportunities in Montreal.
As of 2022, Montreal has more than 26,000 employees in the
AI field. It also has more than 13,000 students studying AI-
related courses.
