Unlocking the Value of Data to Benefit Citizens

People connect with all levels of government as part of their daily lives. These connections create oceans of data, but using that data to transform government offerings can feel like a challenge beyond reach. This is where GovLab.ai comes in. We connect the public sector with private sector innovation to upskill talent and create smart software solutions powered by ethical artificial intelligence.

Within weeks, not years, your team will have solutions that create organizational efficiencies, reduce spending, and streamline workflows. By unlocking the value of data, we build AI powered solutions to help the public sector solve complex problems, optimize government services, and seize emerging opportunities.

"Working with GovLab.ai has assisted Alberta Wildfire Management to answer the complex question of where the next Wildfire will occur. AltaML used AI to create a Fire Occurrence dashboard which informed staff of the probability of a wildfire ignition in the area. GovLab.ai has opened my eyes to the many possibilities of using Wildfire data and AI to help solve long standing complex problems."

"I have been involved with GovLab.ai and AltaML since late 2021, working on a project to improve methods of detecting insect and disease damaged forests in Alberta. The process thus far has been excellent. The weekly meetings are short, efficient, and move the project forward quickly."

-  Dale Thomas, Wildfire Management Specialist, Alberta Wildfire Management Branch

"For our remote sensing project, I have enjoyed working with the staff at AltaML. They have taken a complex remote sensing problem and broken it down effectively. They kept the project on track along with regular, effective communication. I found them to be very professional, and would work with them again."
