Hey there,
This weekend, Amii made history as the first Official AI Partner for the 2023 JUNO Awards in Edmonton.
I had the pleasure of presenting the Juno for Rock Album of the Year at the Opening Night Awards with Fellow and Canada CIFAR AI Chair at Amii Patrick Pilarski, showing off some of the groundbreaking work from the University of Alberta's BLINC Lab.
All last week, we held events to showcase how AI can push forward human creativity in music & sound. Our JUNO Talks series highlighted how machine learning can help us express ourselves, how it can help us heal and how it can help us gather.
I want to thank everyone who came out to attend our JUNO Talks, both in-person and online. And if you missed them, you can still catch the live streams of the event.
The JUNOs were an excellent opportunity to tell the world about the work we're doing here at Amii. And next, we'll bring the world to us as we prepare for UpperBound on May 23-26. We'll have some exciting updates about that in the new future, and you can grab your tickets now.
See you soon,
Cam
