Our Programs

Increasing artificial intelligence (AI) awareness, literacy and capacity.

Every new technology comes with a steep learning curve, and AI is no exception. Given that little attention has been given to ethics, legal issues or governance in the education of AI researchers and industry professionals so far, Mila has developed a series of programs to help bridge this gap. 

One of Mila’s primary aims is to develop comprehensive educational programming for its target audiences, which include researchers, industry representatives, historically marginalized groups and policy-makers. Mila’s learning programs actively help increase responsible AI awareness, literacy and capacity across all sectors.
