The research program of this new Chair will have the mission of bridging the gap in research areas requiring further development, such as the security of artificial intelligence algorithms, while reinforcing niches of excellence at UQAC, such as the development of didactic tools and serious games. On the one hand, attacks on artificial intelligence systems can cause them to fail, leading to business interruption and/or major malfunctions (loss of data, errors, inconsistent information, etc.).
The project’s ambition is to make cybersecurity a niche of excellence, not only in research, but also in development, experimentation, innovation and technology transfer.
