Western AI is a registered club at Western University that serves as a town square for students who express an interest in emerging artificial intelligence technologies. The club has grown to over 750 members, becoming the largest technology-focused club on campus.
In the past year alone, Western AI ran numerous workshops, including predicting the outcome of the World Cup with machine learning (we predicted right!) and exploring Cycle-GANS and their applications in the creative space. Additionally, we held AInnovation and DataQuest–two large and extremely successful flagship case competition events backed by industry leaders such as Cohere, Deloitte, J.D. Power, RBC, BCG, and more.
Beyond holding events, Western AI also facilitates student-led projects involving AI-related software development, a speaker series podcast that connects students and professionals, and a newsletter publication that gives students their monthly fix of AI news.
