Cégep André-Laurendeau, Collège de Maisonneuve, and Université TÉLUQ have joined Obvia, an inter-university network focused on research on the societal impacts of artificial intelligence and digital technology. Obvia was founded in 2019 by Fonds de Recherche du Québec to support intersectoral research on the impacts of AI and digital technology, promote research from Québec, and support the development of AI in the QC ecosystem. With this new development, researchers from each of the three institutions will be able to action their research, mobilize knowledge, and collaborate with others on priority issues. By joining the network, the institutions join 20 other cégeps and universities from across QC that have already joined Obvia.
