Vector Institute: Black and Indigenous AI Education and Internship Programs

This is blatant and open race discrimination by one of the leading AI research institutes of Canada! Appalling!

This like back to the plantation! It is an insult to any black or indigenous person!

The ends justify the means!

"The Vector Institute launched in March 2017 with generous support from the Government of Canada, Government of Ontario, and private industry, and in partnership with the University of Toronto and other universities."

Black and Indigenous AI Education and Internship Programs | Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence Vector Institute is committed to developing programming for Black and Indigenous students, postdocs, and recent graduates to build research and expand career pathways in AI for historically underrepresented groups. This year, Vector launched a machine learning course and AI internships to accelerate and expand access to knowledge of AI to Black and Indigenous students and postdocs in Canada. The programming provides relevant, hands-on learning and work experience in machine learning and AI. It is designed to meet the criteria of Special Programs in line with the values of the Ontario Human Rights Code to assist underrepresented groups to achieve equal opportunity in the field of AI.
