Innovasea has been at the forefront of aquatic AI development with its HydroAI and BiomassPro solutions. The new partnership aims to help the company to bolster its AI adoption, AI-driven innovations and talent acquisition, while providing Mila students with opportunities to apply their skills towards solving real problems in the blue economy.
“AI is transforming how we produce, track and protect marine wildlife,” explained Jean Quirion, Innovasea’s vice-president of research and development for fish tracking, in a press release. "Our partnership with Mila will enable us to further advance our AI solutions in other aspects of our offerings and business. We are excited to collaborate with Mila to push our innovation, introduce fresh ideas, and offer students hands-on experience working on AI technologies at Innovasea."
“We are excited to welcome Innovasea to the Mila community,” added Stéphane Létourneau, executive vice-president of Mila. “With Innovasea’s major role in the blue economy, we are pleased to offer our students opportunities to work on projects that will advance marine environmental research and drive sustainable aquaculture.”
Through the partnership, Innovasea has already hired its first student, working on its HydroAI solution. As part of their internship, they'll help to train the AI models that count fish and identify different species.
"We are thrilled to bring in students from the programme," said Mark Kilfoil, director of software engineering at Innovasea. "This work will directly advance HydroAI's capabilities while providing them an amazing opportunity to gain real-world experience with cutting-edge AI technology."
