Montreal AI: 100M for a new Quebec research cluster in AI

Artificial intelligence is the new electricity. How can we all benefit from it?

Why this Community Letter?

We, the undersigned, want to collectively participate in the building of the Montreal/QC AI cluster. We are the cluster.

Several ideas discussed bellow. Pull-requests welcomed.

It is likely opinions will diverge, please fork and submit

Why co-create the AI cluster?

As electricity has radically changed society, so we belive AI technologies will too. Everyone will be affected.

This letter is an attempt to include all stakeholders affected by AI. You and me, the startups innovating, university researchers, government, not for profits, everyone involved and affected by advances in AI.

Dear Mr. Philippe Couillard

We are the AI community in Montreal, dynamic, innovative, involved - we ask to be actively engaged in the process of diffusing the $100M dedicated to creating the Quebec AI cluster.

Bellow discussion is a synthesis of many ideas sparked at http://www.startupfestival.com/aifest/ - where several community leaders coordinated the embryonic discussion resulting in this letter.

Ideas on what to spend the money on

  • AI association
  • unconferences
  • How to collaborate

Ideas on how to qualify impactful AI projects

  • how not to restrict new ideas

Ideas on how to give access to the funds

Ideas on how a Non-profit could work
