    THALES CHOISIT LE CANADA POUR SON HUB MONDIAL EN INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE

    Thales annonce la création du Centre de Recherche et Technologie spécialisé en intelligence artificielle (IA), nommé cortAIx. Conduit par Thales, en collaboration avec l'Institut Québécois d'Intelligence Artificielle (MILA), l'IVADO (Institute of Data Valorization), l'Institut d'Intelligence Artificielle du Québec et l'Institut Vector de Toronto, le centre cortAIx sera situé à Montréal, au cœur de l'un des principaux écosystèmes d'intelligence artificielle au monde. Points clés cortAIx est une nouvelle brique de la stratégie numérique de Thales qui constitue une des initiatives clés de la croissance 50 nouveaux experts en intelligence artificielle travailleront ensemble pour développer l'utilisation de l'IA dans les systèmes Thales. Ce centre permettra la mise au point des meilleurs outils de prise de décision au service de nos clients. cortAIx prévoit la création d'une cinquantaine d'emplois de chercheurs et de développeurs experts en IA. Leur mission est de promouvoir des applications sûres et éthiques d'intelligence artificielle pour le vaste portefeuille de produits Thales. Ce centre de Recherche et Technologie se concentre sur la création de solutions pour aider les compagnies aériennes, les opérateurs de satellites, les contrôleurs aériens, les opérateurs de transport, les forces armées et les gestionnaires d'infrastructures, à prendre les meilleures décisions dans des moments décisifs, du fond des océans aux confins de l'espace et du cyberespace. Le centre cortAIx renforce l'ambition de Thales de devenir un leader mondial de l'IA, tout en apportant au Canada des bénéfices économiques. La proximité de l'expertise combinée de MILA (Institut Québécois d'Intelligence Artificielle), d'IVADO (Institut de valorisation des données) et du riche écosystème des universités et laboratoires d'IA, font de Montréal et du Canada un environnement idéal pour développer cortAIx. Gr'ce au leadership de Thales et au soutien de nos partenaires, nous mettrons à profit l'écosystème unique de Montréal qui rassemble des talents et une créativité de classe mondiale afin de promouvoir les applications d'intelligence artificielle éthiques dans le monde entier. Patrice Caine, Président-directeur général de Thales Le plus grand défi rencontré par les experts d'IA aujourd'hui est d'améliorer la compréhension des mécanismes au-delà des développements de l'IA, en évaluant les comportements humains au fur et à mesure que les personnes interagissent avec ces nouveaux systèmes. La mission clé du centre cortAIx est de construire des solutions fondées sur l'IA, qui soient sûres et éthiques, tout en garantissant que le pouvoir de décision demeure sous le contrôle de l'homme. Après les acquisitions récentes de Guavus et de Vormetric, la création de cortAIx illustre la façon dont Thales renforce son positionnement dans l'une des technologies clés de sa transformation numérique. Au cours des trois dernières années, Thales a investi plus d'un milliard d'euros dans les technologies numériques clés et a récemment annoncé le lancement de sa Digital Factory à Paris. Cette activité regroupe des experts en technologie de pointe qui soutiennent l'apport de données massives et d'intelligence artificielle dans les solutions de Thales, tout en assurant la sécurité des données - une exigence fondamentale de l'économie numérique moderne. https://www.thalesgroup.com/fr/monde/groupe/press-release/thales-choisit-le-canada-pour-son-hub-mondial-en-intelligence

    Remarks by Minister of National Defence Bill Blair at CANSEC 2024

    This is my first opportunity to come to CANSEC. It’s a very, very well-done and impressive gathering of industry, public servants, partners and friends. As Canada’s Minister of National Defence, I draw great strength and encouragement by the crowd I see before me today and the conversations that we have shared.

    5 ways the U.S. election result could impact Canada

    CBC News Trump and Biden have different ideas about trade, defence, China, energy and migration The fallout from an American election touches countries around the world — starting with its neighbours next door. And on some issues with clear implications for Canada, Joe Biden and Donald Trump offer contrasting positions. The CBC has explored a few of these topics, in stories summarized here with links to a deeper dive on each. Here are five areas where the Nov. 3 presidential election might affect Canada. Energy and the environment There are striking differences between the candidates. Trump promises more oil drilling, more pipelines — and less regulation. Joe Biden, on the other hand, says he'd cancel Trump's permit for the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada. Biden wants to invest massively in clean energy; rejoin the Paris Accord; and, finally, name, shame and potentially punish countries with green tariffs if they fail to cut emissions. International trade Some irritants would remain no matter who wins. For instance, Biden promises more Buy American policies and perennial disputes like softwood lumber would not disappear. But Biden says he'd drop some of Trump's most aggressive moves against allies, like the steel and aluminum tariffs based on alleged national-security grounds. He has also hinted he might, eventually, try negotiating U.S. re-entry into the pan-Pacific trade pact now known as CPTPP. Trump's administration prides itself on a hard-nosed, transformative trade policy that includes lots of tariffs and duties, and has essentially paralyzed the World Trade Organization's dispute system. His trade team says it has a long-term plan; its critics say the results so far offer more chaos than benefits. Canadian defence policy has long rested on the assumption of an unshakeable partnership with the United States. Yet old alliances suddenly seem less sturdy. Trump has rattled old assumptions, repeatedly criticizing NATO allies for under-spending on their military. Past administrations have made similar complaints. But under a barrage of demands from Trump, allies have, in fact, upped their spending. Some defence analysts, and a top former aide to Trump, still fear he might withdraw from NATO in a second term. That uncertainty lingers over a deployment of Canadian troops in Eastern Europe. Biden is a staunch NATO advocate, and under his watch, Canada could face a different challenge: conversations about NATO's future role and missions. One major issue continues to hover over the continent: whether Canada will wind up spending billions to install new radar over the Arctic. China When the globe's two superpowers clash, Canada risks getting sideswiped. Just ask the Canadians in Chinese jail cells and the canola, pork and beef farmers punished by Beijing after Canada executed a U.S. arrest warrant against a high-profile Chinese telecom exec. China-U.S. tensions now loom over myriad global issues, touching the World Health Organization, the World Trade Organization, agriculture, educational exchanges, journalism, new technologies and sanctioned goods. Trump made these issues top priorities. And they're not going away. Biden, however, says he wants to approach things differently — for starters, by working more closely with allies. He plans to host a summit of democracies to discuss ways governments and private-sector companies like banks and social media platforms might push back against global authoritarianism. One thing Trump has not clearly articulated — and it's something Biden would be pressed to offer — is a sense of the long-term goal: How does the U.S. intend to coexist with China? Immigration Trump has indicated that for a second term, he would carry on with some of the more restrictive temporary work visa programs he established during his first term. Just recently, for example, he announced a major overhaul for H1-B visas. He is also seeking to end the temporary humanitarian protection of thousands of migrants who face threats back home, and decrease the overall number of refugees who come to the U.S. All this could put pressure on Canadian borders. Meanwhile, Biden has said he would reverse Trump's H1-B visa freeze, review the decision to end humanitarian protection for migrants, repeal Trump's travel ban and increase the number of refugees coming into the U.S. to 125,000. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/5-ways-the-u-s-election-result-could-impact-canada-1.5753574
