Enabling organizations to adopt and maximize the benefits of secure, ethical and robust AI
Montreal, September 12, 2024
Cofomo, an industry leader in digital transformation and consulting services, today announced the launch of its new Centre of Excellence (CoE) for artificial intelligence (AI). In addition to offer in-depth expertise for the development, the integration and the deployment of AI, this CoE offers tools and guidance for secure, ethical integration and governance, for organizations to maximize the opportunities while navigating the challenges of its integration.
Artificial intelligence has become a crucial lever for organisational growth, but its operational integration poses major challenges. Organizations are facing multiple challenges as they attempt to reap its benefits. “The accelerating pace of AI development, the vast amounts of data being generated, and the evolving complexity surrounding regulation and compliance made it a priority for us to establish an AI Centre of Excellence, and offer a proactive and comprehensive support to clients” said Yohan Plourde, Vice-President, Digital Transformation at Cofomo.
Creating a knowledge hub to support organizations with all their AI needs
This new CoE encompasses the latest knowledge to proactively respond to the needs of clients. Cofomo experts provide end-to-end support from the proof-of-concept stage through the orchestration of projects. “Our ultimate goal is to take the complexity out of AI projects so that our clients can make the most of this evolving technology” concluded Yohan Plourde.
The AI Centre of Excellence ensures Cofomo remains at the forefront of the latest AI standards and guidelines, complies with international AI standards, and goes on developing ethical and responsible AI applications for clients.
