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.

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.

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.

REASONSFOROPENING THELAB

Teachers to teach students about AI.

Scientists to develop new AI systems. Researchers to research how to use AI to improve society. Researchers to conduct AI research in the laboratory.

McGill's AI lab is a place for: AimsandObjectives

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.

Students to learn how to use AI systems to build new technologies

CONCLUSION

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.

As of 2022, Montreal has more than 26,000 employees in the AI field. It also has more than 13,000 students studying AIrelated courses.

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.
