Yesterday, we announced our partnership with Hoffmann-La Roche (Roche Canada) alongside Mila and the Vector Institute to launch the Roche AI Centre of Excellence. This marks the first collaborative centre to combine the expertise of all three national AI institutes under the CIFAR Pan-Canadian AI Strategy. https://hubs.la/H0BbcMT0 Artificial intelligence has immense potential to transform the way we think about healthcare delivery in Canada. This partnership between Roche an...d the institutes of the CIFAR Pan-Canadian AI Strategy will enable Amii and our Pan-Canadian partners to join our expertise in machine learning with Roche’s industry-leading expertise in health and solidify Canada’s leadership in the intersection of AI and life sciences. Alberta has a wealth of AI talent to offer, and Amii is pleased to be partnering with Roche, Mila and the Vector Institute to advance the digital transformation of Canada's healthcare system.
