Artificial Intelligence to play a central role
in solution development
MONTRÉAL, Sept. 12,
2023 /CNW/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A)
announces today that it is partnering with Mustimuhw Information
Solutions Inc. (MIS) to develop a fire prevention solution for
First Nation communities across Canada. This project is part of the Indigenous
Digital Health Ecosystem (IDHE) initiative within the Digital
consortium. IDHE will be a culturally aligned digital platform and
suite of integrated applications that better meet the unique needs
of First Nation communities.
The goal of this new solution is to improve fire safety,
preparedness and help reduce loss of life and property. CGI and MIS
will develop a proof of concept (POC) by using an array of
advanced, non-intrusive technologies, including AI. The project
involves an initial phase that leverages AI and machine learning
techniques to build a digital twin and risk model that will
identify fire safety assets and opportunities to mitigate threats.
The second phase will focus on real-time digital monitoring and
management.
"Responsible AI will play an integral part in helping people
evolve in a sustainable and efficient way. As part of CGI's
commitment to deliver human-centered healthcare transformation, the
POC will address fire safety in a scalable, friendly, and secure
way," says Andrew Donaher,
Vice-President, and Consulting Delivery for CGI. "Additionally, the
project will also build a model to guide stakeholders on key
elements required for safety, obtaining insurance, and improving
cost of insurance. When ready, the solution will be scaled to
address housing and building needs at a community or nation
level."
"First Nations are well positioned to leverage technology
innovations to achieve significant advancements in fire safety and
prevention," says Mark Sommerfeld,
Chief Executive Officer for Mustimuhw Information Solutions. "Our
partnership with CGI enables us to work with a technology leader
and develop an efficient and adaptable solution that will
significantly empower nations and improve health and well-being in
their communities. We look forward to collaborating with CGI on a
growing range of opportunities in support of First Nations digital
health initiatives."
