Founded in 2016, Element AI started with the goal of supporting collaboration between decision makers and machines to ultimately help operationalize AI within large enterprises. In just four years, this Canadian-based AI-company has attracted global attention for its world-class AI research team and raised just over $250 million USD in funding.
With the hit of the global pandemic, organizations are now forced to accelerate their investments in artificial intelligence and digitalize their business with strong technological infrastructure. Luckily, Element AI is at the forefront of AI innovation in Canada to provide enterprises with the guidance needed to operationalize artificial intelligence while taking into consideration the governance and ethics of AI.
Tune into this episode of the Ask AI podcast and catch-up with Jean-François Gagné, CEO of Element AI, one of the World’s largest AI startups. We explore his thoughts on how COVID-19 has impacted the AI sector in terms of governance, privacy, and ethics. We also explore his perspective on the role of government in enabling artificial intelligence and machine learning innovation.
