Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) is a machine learning institute in Edmonton, Alberta. Amii was established in 2002 to drive innovation in the artificial intelligence space and partner with companies to adopt and grow the technology.[1][2] Since their inception, Amii have worked with more than 300 companies to translate knowledge, talent and technology into industry and secured $600M+ in venture financing, including $450M raised by Canadian-based companies.[3] As of 2023, Amii funds the research of more than 30 research fellows, 36 Canada CIFAR AI chairs, recently invested $30 million in the University of Alberta to recruit 20 new global AI researchers, and worked with over 100 companies to accelerate AI product development.[4]

Along with Montreal's Mila and Toronto's Vector Institute, Amii is a member of the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy.[1][5]

History

[edit | edit source]

Amii began in 2002 as the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Machine Learning (AICML), a joint effort between the Government of Alberta and the University of Alberta.[6] In 2017, they rebranded under their current Amii name and moved into a large open-concept collaborative office in downtown Edmonton.[1]
