Montreal is getting a new artificial intelligence centre

Samsung is opening an artificial intelligence centre in Montreal. According to Samsung, this will be the seventh AI research facility to open this year making it the fourth in North America alone. The recent announcement compliments earlier news of multiple AI centres launched in North America and continues Samsung's efforts in AI that include the development of Samsung's virtual assistant, Bixby. The centre is the fourth Samsung AI Centre to be established in North America following the centres launched in Silicon Valley, New York and Toronto. The opening of the AI centre in Montreal will allow Samsung to expand its outpost for industry collaboration and talent recruitment in a major AI hub in Canada, dedicated to research and development of core AI technologies that entail machine learning, language, vision and other multi-modal interactions, according to Samsung.
