When most people think of Alberta’s areas of expertise, they think of oil and gas. But developing under the radar for over a decade has been a level of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning expertise regarded to be in the top three, if not the preeminent cluster of researchers in the world. And those who master AI — which will impact on all industries — could be the masters of the digital economy of the future.
