Artificial Intelligence Saskatchewan (AiSK) joins Collider at Innovation Place; champions growth of AI in Saskatchewan

SASKATOON, SK – Non-profit organization Artificial Intelligence Saskatchewan (AiSK, pronounced “ask”) is the newest tenant at Collider, a hub for tech startups established by Innovation Saskatchewan and located on the University of Saskatchewan campus at Innovation Place.

AiSK is quickly gaining momentum as a central hub for the AI ecosystem in Saskatchewan. Chair and Interim Executive Director, Alex Fallon and Co-Chair, Garnet McElree, Chief Inspiration Officer & Partner at LMNO have been advancing AiSK’s strategy since its inception in May 2024. The organization is also supported by an Advisory Board of 12 local business and technology leaders.

“The field of AI represents an economic growth opportunity for Saskatchewan. AiSK will help the province to seize this opportunity by creating a ‘one-stop shop’ for AI information in Saskatchewan by bringing together the public, industry, academia and all levels of government in discussions around the opportunities and challenges presented by the global AI sector,” said Fallon.

With a mission to champion the growth of the AI sector in Saskatchewan, AiSK has already held two Saskatchewan Artificial Intelligence Gatherings (SaiG) since its inception earlier this year. Future plans include participating in the AI Summit Series at the AI Summit New York this December and hosting the first ever SASK AI EXPO.  

“Collider is the perfect location for AiSK’s first physical office space,” said Fallon. “It helps us strengthen our ties to the province’s tech sector, pursue our mission, and support Saskatchewan’s continued growth by harnessing the opportunities presented by AI.”
