Using AI to Fix Potholes

UW researchers develop artificial intelligence software to detect road problems

Potholes and deteriorating roadways are the bane of motorists and a big task for municipalities to manage.

An artificial intelligence software system developed by University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ researchers can simplify road maintenance to flag defects early, saving taxpayers money and drivers headaches

Prime Minister Trudeau and President MacronÌýannounced the signing of the Canada-France Statement on Artificial Intelligence, which calls for the creation of an international study group on artificial intelligence made up of experts from government, industry, and civil society. The group will be mandated to become the global reference on issues related to artificial intelligence, a field that is increasingly affecting all human activities and that will continue to have a significant influence on economic growth and the labour market.

A new institute at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ will focus on fostering campus-wide research into artificial intelligence (AI) and provide a portal for organizations to access its extensive expertise in the rapidly growing field.

Officially launched last week, theÌýÀ¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Artificial Intelligence InstituteÌýwill bring together almost 100 faculty members to tackle practical and fundamental problems brought to them by partners in business, government and the non-profit sector.

The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ has launched the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Artificial Intelligence Institute today.

The AI Institute will focus on foundational AI —Ìýwhich includes research in statistical learning, deep learning, game theory, and data science that advances the entire industry — and operational AI, which develops scalable, secure, and transparent solutions for a wide range of applications.
