Bank of Montreal’s Quantum Leap: AI, Cash Tokens, and the Great Canadian Tech Race
The BMO Institute for Applied Artificial Intelligence and Quantum will be helmed by Kristin Milchanowski, a quantum mathematician who has gracefully transitioned from her role as chief AI and data officer into a position so expansive it could only be described as Chekhovian in its scope. “We are expanding our research,” she declared, with the gravitas of a woman who knows her qubits from her quarks. The institute, she added, will “provide a platform for AI and quantum to converge,” a sentence so laden with promise it could make a nihilist blush.
