Polytechnique Montréal and the Palais des congrès de Montréal are joining forces on a new AI project that will advance sustainability. Starting this term, four Polytech MTL students in software engineering will design an AI system capable of identifying, characterizing, and quantifying the waste that is produced at Palais events. Together, the partners hope to gain a better understanding of consumption habits at the venue, develop strategies to reduce waste production, and promote more sustainable alternatives. “This project, integrating artificial intelligence in support of sustainable development, will promote the acquisition of skills in line with the labour market and generate positive spinoffs for our partners,” said Polytech MTL VP, Academic Affairs and Student Experience Pierre Langlois.
