Institut national de la recherche scientifique Professor Jonathan Roberge and Université du Québec à Montréal Professor Destiny Tchéhouali are the co-holders of a new Québec Research Chair in Francophone Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Technology. Supported by a research team from Concordia University, INRS, Université Laval, and UQÀM, this Chair aims to leverage AI to diversify and enrich access to Francophone media content on digital platforms. The researchers will focus on three priority areas: the techno-scientific ecosystem of AI in Québec; the discoverability of French-speaking cultural content; and the governance, regulation, and future of public policies relating to the development of AI and digital technology in French. The Fonds du recherche du Québec has provided $1.8M to support this chair.
