Samsung has opened a laboratory to study artificial intelligence in Canada Source:

It Seems that Canada is becoming the unofficial world center of research in the field . Hard to explain it, but it is in this state from all over the world pulled together major companies involved in the development of AI. Previously, Google with its DeepMind settled in Edmonton, Apple opened in Ottawa, the centre for research in the field of unmanned vehicles, and before that in Canada and relocated giants such as Facebook and Microsoft. The company has decided not to lag behind colleagues and also opened in Canada AI lab.

«Why tech giants are suddenly pulled in Canada?» — you ask. The fact is that the government of this state annually invests in the development of AI up to $ 125 million. Laboratory Samsung has opened at the University of Montreal. This implies that the teachers together with students will take an active part in the research questions of artificial intelligence. In this University there is a Professor, Joshua Bengio, known for its multi-year collaboration with Samsung Corporation. The laboratory aims to support research in several areas, including unmanned vehicles, pattern recognition, text translation and voice and the development of robotics.

The Samsung has ambitious plans and has no illusions about what the lab will bring the first fruits in the near future. The development of artificial intelligence is quite a difficult task, the solution of which will require years of hard work of hundreds of experts and tens of millions of dollars of investments. For anybody not a secret that Koreans tend to be on the cutting edge of technology and don't want anything to lag behind their Western competitors. Voice of the AI assistant Bixby was the first sign that Samsung is actively working in this direction.
