The Government of Alberta has announced a commitment of $50M over five years into the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute. The investment will support AI applications that improve public services, help the workforce prepare for the jobs of the future, and strengthen health care. “Alberta’s universities and research institutions have made our province a global leader in AI,” said AB Minister of Advanced Education Myles McDougall. “As these skills become essential across the workforce, this investment in Amii ensures our students graduate ready to lead.” BetaKit reports that the investment constitutes half of all money invested by AB into Amii over the last 24 years, demonstrating the province’s increased attention to the AI sector.
