Mila published its 2023-2024 Impact Report last week. The report documents the organisation's work with its community of over 1,300 researchers and more than 140 industry partners.
In their joint message from the report, Yoshua Bengio, Mila's Founder and Scientific Director, Valérie Pisano, President and CEO, and Pierre Boivin, Chairman of the Board, stated: "Today, AI is progressing at remarkable speed. Breakthroughs in generative AI and the resulting debates are top-of-mind for businesses and policymakers. Some call it a new industrial revolution, while others urge caution in deploying tools with such disruptive potential."
The announcement states, "This fall, AI took centre stage at the Nobel Prize ceremony, underscoring its potential to drive scientific advancements." The report outlines Mila's projects across health, genetics, neuroscience, discovering new materials, climate, and integrating Indigenous knowledge into technology development.
