Samsung has opened another artificial intelligence (AI) centre, this time in Montreal, Canada. It is Samsung's seventh AI centre in total since it set up its first in Seoul in November last year. It also marks its fourth in North America after Silicon Valley, New York, and Toronto. The city hosted leading AI researchers at McGill University and the University of Montreal who have had "longstanding relationships" with Samsung, with 250 researchers and 9,000 students in related programs. The South Korean tech giant said the Montreal centre would focus on machine learning, language, vision, and multi-modal interactions.
