One of the most prominent AI companies in Canada is joining forces with a premier university in the United States.<\/p>\n
Montreal\u2019s Element AI<\/a> is joining MIT\u2019s Systems That Learn initiative. The new program was created by MIT\u2019s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), one of the most recognizable AI education spaces in the world. CSAIL is responsible for multiple breakthrough AI technologies, including everything from artificial robot muscles to predictive recipe technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n Other members of the Systems That Learn initiative include Microsoft, Salesforce and Scotiabank.<\/p>\n Systems That Learn is described as \u201ca new MIT research initiative to accelerate the development, deployment, and evolution of large-scale software systems that incorporate machine learning and artificial intelligence,\u201d according to a release. It is designed to help the skilled researchers and thought-leaders from CSAIL connect with businesses partners from some of the biggest and innovative companies in North America.<\/p>\n The educational experts will leverage their knowledge of machine learning and other AI functions to help these and other businesses solve problems based around scaling and introducing new tech into their platforms.<\/p>\n By joining Systems That Learn, Element AI will gain access to some of the cutting-edge projects CSAIL is currently undertaking, allowing both of the organizations to learn and grow together.<\/p>\n \u201cThis collaboration was an obvious fit for us, as it aligns perfectly with our mission to democratize AI and develop AI for Good,\u201d wrote Element AI in a statement, perhaps referencing a campaign<\/a> the company took part in earlier this year decrying research into killer AI robots.<\/p>\n \u201cWe already collaborate with an ever-growing faculty network of research professors to advance the state of AI. We\u2019re looking forward to seeing what type of groundbreaking advances in AI technology this group can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n Another positive of Element AI and other companies joining the initiative is access to additional research groups through CSAIL\u2019s Alliance Program, including cybersecurity, big data and information policies. Companies could also connect with students and researchers in an attempt to hire new talent in the extremely competitive AI field.<\/p>\n It has been quite the year for Element AI. The company raised a $102 million USD Series A<\/a>\u00a0in June, became advisors to a $45 million Korean AI fund<\/a> in November, joined a global AI partnership<\/a> in November as well, and most recently were named to the global AI 100<\/a> by CB Insights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the most prominent AI companies in Canada is joining forces with a premier university in the United States.
