Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) is a machine learning institute in Edmonton, Alberta. Amii was established in 2002 to drive innovation in the artificial intelligence space and partner with companies to adopt and grow the technology.[1][2] Since their inception, Amii have worked with more than 300 companies to translate knowledge, talent and technology into industry and secured $600M+ in venture financing, including $450M raised by Canadian-based companies.[3]

Along with Montreal's Mila (research institute) and Toronto's Vector Institute (Canada), Amii is a member of the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy.[1][4]

History

Amii began in 2002 as the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Machine Learning (AICML), a joint effort between the Government of Alberta and the University of Alberta.[5] In 2017, they rebranded under their current Amii name and moved into a large open-concept collaborative office in downtown Edmonton.[1]
