Ouch, sorry Waterloo.
Right? This is an odd choice. Google just built their massive new campus in Waterloo, and University of Waterloo is one of the best engineer schools and computer science schools in the world, but they build this an hour away in a market that is much more expensive? An odd choice for sure.
Canada will benefit from the brain wall Trump has erected.
Those jobs would have been shipped to India eventually anyway. Global corporations don't care about silly things like stable economies. They care about the bottom line. Edit: to those downvoting me, can you please explain why? Am I wrong in some way?

Waterloo is best at producing the best engineers at the undergrad level.
2. Who controls it? The government (which has put in most of the announced funding)? The University of Toronto? Google? A combination of all of those?
3. Who will own the work created by the Institute? How will it be licensed, and what rules will govern its publication?
These are questions that would be answered at a very early stage of an ordinary research partnership between a public university and a corporation, but I can find none of these details about Vector.
I am seeing a lot of investments and MASSIVE promised commitments by a lot of people/company. Is all this money going towards paying experts/ buying equipments ? Don't get me wrong, I like seeing all this money being poured in. It's just that i'm curious as to how this money is being used. Tangentially, do you think any of this will trickle down to people who are trying to learn math/ML in the form of scholarships?
I agree. It has all been quite vague. I wonder if any will go towards AI based startups.

India doesn't have top universities and top research talent.
1. What is the Vector Institute? Is a foundation? Is it a not-for-profit corporation? Something else? 2. Who controls it? The government (which has put in most of the announced funding)?

Just speculating, but positions in AI are usually filled by people with PhD's and this knowledge is so scarce in the job market, not low level IT pros who are competing in a race to the bottom
