Hi there,
Happy new year!
As 2022 gets going, we can’t help but be excited for all that’s in store for the year ahead. Our clients and industry partners are poised to take their AI adoption goals to new heights, and meanwhile, our academic research teams continue to push the bounds of what’s possible with AI and machine learning.
This coming year also marks 20 years of AI excellence in Alberta, and we’re thrilled to be bringing together the business, research and innovation communities to celebrate at AI Week presented by Amii in May.
Here are just a couple of ways you can get involved with one of the world’s fastest-growing sectors:
There are so many other ways to be part of Canada’s leadership in AI and machine learning. Read on and discover the latest research and industry advancements, upcoming events and career opportunities with Amii.
See you over video chat soon,
Twenty full scholarships are now being offered for our Winter 2022 cohort of the ML Technician Certification! The scholarships will cover the full cost of registration with a focus on giving access to individuals who are typically underrepresented in STEM fields, who are recent immigrants to Canada or who live in rural settings.
The ML Technician Certification is a 9-week, live online course that gives technical learners the knowledge and skills they need to enter into an AI career. With a mix of instruction, collaborative hands-on work and a capstone project, students of the program will learn how to develop an AI-based business solution using real-world datasets. Over 100 grads have earned a Certificate of Completion to date.
Applications close on January 18.
