Hosted by the AI4Good Lab Headquarters team.
Stationed in Montreal, Headquarters runs the Montreal regional program and organizes expansion across Canada.
History of the Montreal Program.
Professor Doina Precup and Angelique Mannella founded the Lab in Montreal as a direct response to the lack of diversity in the AI industry. Since 2017, the Montreal Program has trained over 160 women+ with the skills to start their careers, succeed in leadership roles, and work towards a more inclusive tech culture. The Montreal program welcomes 30 participants each year.

“The Lab is one of the best opportunities I've had in my life. I learned so much not only about AI, machine learning and the industry but also about myself. The connections made and the bonds formed with the other participants will be preciously kept for a long time.”

Quebec is taking action to promote diversity in AI.
The Quebec Ministry of Economy and Innovation is enabling the AI4Good Lab to continue its mission in providing access to training and mentorship for underrepresented individuals in AI through the NovaScience Program support for “Training initiatives in artificial intelligence (AI)” in 2021 and 2022.
