The AICML has also been a key player in the establishment of the IBM Centre for Advanced Studies at the University of Alberta along with IBM, Alberta Innovation and Science and the University. The new centre will provide Alberta students and researchers with technology and funding, and will focus on current areas of expertise in Alberta including machine intelligence, nanotechnology and biological simulation.  

There are now seven principal investigators with the AICML, 17 affiliate investigators, eight research associations and postdoctoral fellows, 13 software developers and 49 graduate students. It is raising Alberta’s profile as a world leader in machine learning. Its researchers continue to make key contributions to both fundamental research and its application to technological innovations and breakthroughs.
