FORUM D’AFFAIRES CANADA-ITALIE SUR L’INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE

La 4e édition du Forum d’affaires Canada-Italie sur l’IA est consacrée à l’IA et la cybersécurité. Les dernières années ont mis en évidence la menace des cyberattaques contre les individus, les entreprises et les nations. On a assisté à une forte accélération des trajectoires technologiques et des politiques dédiées à la cybersécurité, et à la croisée des chemins avec le thème de l’intelligence artificielle. Le besoin de cybersécurité semble être une question prioritaire pour la protection et la sauvegarde non seulement des infrastructures dites critiques, de l’espace et de la défense, mais aussi des entreprises, des industries et des consommateurs. Il est néanmoins nécessaire de renforcer la coopération entre les secteurs public et privé pour accélérer l’élaboration de réponses, partager des solutions innovantes et développer les ressources essentielles, tant professionnelles que technologiques, pour relever ce défi. Les gouvernements et les entreprises ne peuvent y faire face seuls; Une collaboration plus intense est nécessaire. Le Forum réunira des organismes gouvernementaux canadiens et italiens, des grappes technologiques, des universités, de grandes entreprises, des PME et des entreprises en démarrage technologiques, ainsi que des conférenciers experts et des panélistes, dans un format hybride.  Les technologies et les innovations de ces acteurs clés seront mises en évidence, ainsi que les opportunités potentielles de collaboration et de réseautage des deux côtés de l’océan. Lieu : Centre Mont-Royal – 2200 Mansfield, Montréal, Québec H3A 3R8
