Samsung Electronics will expand and move its current Montreal-based artificial intelligence (AI) lab to the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (Mila), the company announced.
The Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) AI Lab in Montreal was set up in October last year, and was the seventh centre of its kind to be launched by the company.
Mila, founded by Professor Yoshua Bengio at the University of Montreal, has partnerships with the University of Montreal and McGill University.
The aim of the expansion and move to Mila, Samsung said, will be to strengthen its fundamentals in AI research, increase competitiveness in system semiconductors, and provide the South Korean tech giant with an opportunity to work closely with AI communities in Canada.
