Local intelligence
AI news and resources for Manitoba.
A small, practical index of local stories, community groups, research programs, funding sources, and organizations connected to AI in Winnipeg and Manitoba.
I keep this page because AI adoption is easier to understand when it is tied to the people, employers, schools, and public institutions around us.
