E72 - Beyond the Echo - Cory Janssen, Machine Learning in Our Backyard
“The University of Alberta has actually been a Top 10 school, in terms of academic research in artificial intelligence and machine learning over the last 20 years.”
As Co-Founder & CEO of AltaML, Cory is always bouncing between his offices in Edmonton and Calgary, working alongside his teams to conceptualize, develop and commercialize machine learning software products. Aside from a to-be-expected rivalry between Flames and Oilers fans, Cory sees a huge commonality between thought leaders, innovators, and shakers in each city. So, why isn't Alberta seen as an international technology hub? Cory thinks it's because our top talent has their eyes set elsewhere, and we need to join forces to keep them here.
Join me and I discuss transforming the relationship between Calgary and Edmonton to keep our talented minds and breakthroughs in Alberta and transform our global reputation.
