AI Research Chair Program
Canadian universities play a critical role in the evolution of our country’s AI ecosystem.
Scale AI is investing up to $10M to fund Research Chairs in the field of AI applied to intelligent supply chains.
One of Scale AI’s strategic objectives is to establish an ecosystem that positions Canada among the world leaders in the field of AI applied to supply chains.
A key component to achieving this objective is the involvement of Canadian universities and their ability to conduct research that expands our understanding of AI and its applications in the field of intelligent supply chains.
