Canada-France partnership to support research on artificial intelligence

The rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key focus for much of Canada’s scientific community and is a priority area identified by the Canada-France Joint Committee on Science, Technology, and Innovation.

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), in collaboration with IVADO, are pleased to announce a total of $3,292,500 in funding to support 10 collaborative research projects on AI with the French National Research Agency (ANR).

These projects leverage the unique expertise and resources of both Canadian and French research ecosystems, supporting collaborative multi- and interdisciplinary research projects addressing generative AI and the security and safety of embedded AI.
