"What might a building designed for A.I. innovation look like?" asks AZURE Associate Editor sydshilling.⁠
⁠
Ask ChatGPT, and you might expect the online software to conjure complex algorithmic forms, holographic displays or even a dynamic smart facade. Instead, its response is surprisingly practical: “A building designed for A.I. innovation would reflect the technology’s emphasis on adaptability, efficiency and cutting-edge research.” In dreaming up the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus (SRIC), a new tech incubator at the University of Toronto whose tenants include the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence (led by Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton), New York firm Weiss/Manfredi (weissmanfredi) didn’t rely on A.I. for design inspiration. And yet, when I tour the building on a rainy morning in March, it’s clear that the final product delivered on these imperatives — and much more. When I step off the streetcar, I’m struck by how faithfully it resembles the original renderings, the concrete structure massive yet remarkably porous.⁠

"University of Toronto's next architectural landmark, a new trapezoidal pyramid-shaped institutional building is soon to rise along the north side of College Street just east of Queen's Park Crescent.

The Schwartz Reisman Innovation Centre is to boast a standout design by New York-based Weiss/Manfredi Architects alongside Toronto-based Teeple Architects Inc. with paired 12 and 20-storey towers that taper away as they rise.

The 12-storey, first phase will bring 250,000 ft² of institutional space to the site, including space for the Schwartz Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society as well as the Vector Institute specializing in deep learning and machine learning research.

Phase two will be a 20-storey, 500,000 ft² tower housing laboratories and research space for innovators in regenerative medicine, genetics and precision medicine. Together, the two distinctive buildings will add up for a total of 750,000 ft² of institutional space."

Hello world! We’ve joined IG 🥳 Follow our journey to find solutions for AI’s ethical and societal implications 🧠🧐⚙️ #TorontoSRI

At the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society, we are working to ensure artificial intelligence and other powerful new technologies make the world better—for everyone.

A colossal technological revolution is unfolding. Our institutions don’t quite know how to respond and ordinary citizens are questioning their relevance in the age of the machine. While asking tough questions about technology is essential, we believe that it’s just a starting point. To create a future where technology serves humanity, we have to push past critiques and roll up our sleeves to find solutions that benefit everyone. It begins by saying: we can solve this.

How are algorithms influencing the production and consumption of culture? Are your listening habits trapping you in a filter bubble?

A recent report on AI and music recommendation released by the Schwartz Reisman Institute argues algorithms’ impacts are profound and far-reaching. “We need to interrogate the theory of value built into these systems and the way that AI affects not just users but the very production of music itself.”

Read more and download the report, “Artificial intelligence, music recommendation, and the curation of culture,” for free on our website.
