What is the SAIH?
A school to transform health
The School of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare supports current and next-generation healthcare professionals and stakeholders. Launched in 2018, it is the first of its kind to focus on the development of human capacities and the implementation of AI in a real health environment, ethically and responsibly, to improve the health of the population.
We are much more than just a school, the SAIH bridges the gap between healthcare professionals and the AI sector.
To achieve this, we focus on:
- Developing skills
- Building our ecosystem
- Innovating and testing prototypes in real-world settings
- Creating and mobilising knowledge through research
“This is the first school of artificial intelligence in the world, born in a francophone environment, to focus on the development of human capabilities and real-world implementation of AI.”
DR FABRICE BRUNET
PRESIDENT & CEO, CHUM

Why have an AI health-school?

Montreal has become a hub for AI expertise, inspiring and attracting experts in this field from everywhere. The Montreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of ArtificiaI Intelligence demonstrates the desire to encourage public dialogue and propose a progressive and inclusive orientation for the development of AI. The CHUM followed suit by becoming a signatory of the Montreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of AI.
“Agile and proactive, the SAIH stands out through its evolving and applied approach. It places people at the centre of the transformation to increase its ability to humanize health.”

Our Partners
The School of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (SAIH) would not be possible without the commitment of the Université de Montréal, its Faculties and its Schools.
The CHUM will initially collaborate more closely with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of the Université de Montréal and with Mosaic HEC, the multidisciplinary training and research centre of HEC Montréal specializing in creativity and innovation management.
Professors, as well as students and patients, will help develop the content of the School’s activities.
The SAIH will also rely on the support of several other institutional and private partners.
