The Quebec and Alberta governments plan to work together to implement artificial intelligence in public administration.
France-Élaine Duranceau, Quebec minister of cybersecurity and digital technology, announced the agreement Tuesday alongside Nate Glubish, Alberta minister of technology and innovation.
The agreement will span five years and includes no financial engagement, but rather a sharing of knowledge between both administrations.
Duranceau says the initiative will build on each province’s expertise to create a more effective state.
Glubish highlighted Alberta’s AI initiatives and presented them as a way to increase speed and reduce costs.
Alberta has leaned into AI and is the centre of Canada’s emerging data centre landscape, according to recent research out of York University.
