Key Takeaways
- And in the early 2010s, Canadian research institutions led the way in demonstrating that with the arrival of powerful new computing resources-in particular, general-purpose GPUs-deep neural networks could succeed at scale, kicking off the modern era.
Today, Canadians both at home and abroad continue to play leading roles in AI research, safety, and policy-including at Anthropic.
- We're also publishing our first Canadian country brief based on the Anthropic Economic Index, which provides a snapshot of how Canadians are putting Claude to work.
Investing in Canadian research The $10 million we're committing will fund research into beneficial and responsible applications of AI.
- Mila will also use Claude to develop AI assistants that help researchers discover and assess scientific breakthroughs.
CHEO and the CHEO Research Institute will use Claude credits to develop and evaluate AI-enabled approaches aimed at improving health outcomes and the care experience for children, youth, and families, and to study how AI can be most responsibly applied in children's health.
- For example, CAMH's Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics will use Claude to conduct computational mental health research, including developing and evaluating predictive models of treatment for people with mental health conditions, and running large-scale evaluations of fairness in psychiatric AI systems.
Credits will also be used to help scale the impact of the CAMH Global Learning Academy, which is developing multilingual, AI-enabled mental health education.
- The University of Saskatchewan will use Claude to further its research in areas including biomedical advancements, food and water security, public health, quantum computing, and public service.
