The New Brunswick Innovation Foundation (NBIF) is an independent funding corporation. In January, Jeff White, its CEO, Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA, and Jenica Atwin, Member of Parliament for Fredericton, officially launched the new "NBIF Artificial Intelligence (AI) Fund". The objective of the Fund is to bring together academic researchers and companies to collaborate. New Brunswick is a Canadian province of about 750,000 inhabitants, located south of Quebec, on the Atlantic coast. Artificial intelligence is, as in Canada (and all developed countries), considered a major strategic asset for economic growth, employment and innovation.

SHANGHAI – U.S. President Donald Trump often tweets from his iPhone about pressuring China to address its $375 billion trade surplus with the United States. But a closer look at the Apple smartphone reveals how the headline figure is distorted. The big trade imbalance -- at the heart of a potential trade war, with Trump expected to impose tariffs on Chinese imports this week -- exists in large part because of electrical goods and tech, the biggest U.S. import item from China. Apple Inc.'s iPhone, however, illustrates how a big portion of that imbalance is due to imports of American-branded products -- many of which use global suppliers for parts but are put together in China and shipped around the world. Take a look at the iPhone X. IHS Markit estimates its components cost a total of $370.25.
