Mila unveils COVID-19 tracing application

May 20, 2020


Valerie PisanoMONTREAL – Mila, the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, announced the release of its COVID-19 tracing application, called COVI, and a White Paper prepared by the researchers involved in the project.

“Developed in Canada and designed to protect privacy, COVI uses artificial intelligence to empower citizens to protect themselves, limit the spread of the virus and facilitate a safe and informed lifting of social distancing measures by public health authorities,” said Valérie Pisano (pictured), CEO of Mila.

Respecting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, COVI also conforms to all the principles set out on May 7 in the Joint Statement by Federal, Provincial and Territorial Privacy Commissioners on COVID-19 contact tracing applications.

Yoshua Bengio is the winner of the 2018 A.M. Turing Prize, considered the “Nobel Prize in Computer Science.” In 2020, he was elected by his peers to The Royal Society, joining such greats as Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Dorothy Hodgkin and Stephen Hawking.
