Meta – parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram – is laying off 10% of its workforce as it invests heavily in AI infrastructure and investments.

A meaningful linguistic, cultural, and virtual exchange has recently concluded between students in Professor Martine Rhéaume’s French as a second language (FLS) course and those of Professor Evelyne Charland at PrepaTec Eugenio Garza Lagüera, in the Monterrey region of Mexico. Martine Rhéaume is also the Coordinator of Technological Innovation and Artificial Intelligence in Language Education at O…

When a required class is full, it’s more than an inconvenience… it can delay a student’s progress. The Faculty of Health Sciences is forecasting demand with AI to make registration smoother, planning smarter, and capacity decisions easier.

AI is already enhancing how we learn, teach, and work at uOttawa. It’s delivering faster answers, smoother processes, and greater focus on high-value work. AI tools are already in place and continue to expand across the University.

A research team at the University of Ottawa has developed an advanced artificial intelligence system designed to autonomously defend wireless networks from jamming attacks, operating much like a digital immune system. This technology can automatically detect and respond to jamming in real time, which could play a critical role in securing Canada’s communications infrastructure.
