Zette earns Mila Startup Status, unlocking funding and collaboration with world’s leading AI institute to accelerate development of AI for the future of news.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA, March 14, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Mila Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Quebec recently announced Zette as one of four companies awarded Mila Startup Status this year, opening the door to funding, endorsement, and access to Mila’s esteemed research community.

Mila is home to the largest concentration of global deep learning researchers globally. In addition to their research institute, they house the Mila Entrepreneurship Lab—a consortium of incubators, funding agencies, investors, and mentors that aims to support AI startups. Zette’s partnership with Mila will accelerate their development of AI solutions for media consumption.

In December 2023, Zette announced its acquisition of Below the Fold from parent company Acciyo—an MIT startup that uses AI to bridge the gap between reading the news and understanding it. Zette AI plans to launch its core innovation in 2024: a four-part algorithm that can recommend, summarize, interact with, and contextualize the news.

"Mila's student community is among the best positioned in the industry to develop innovative AI application ideas. Our role is to help them maximize the entrepreneurial potential of their project," says program lead Gabrielle Hurtubise-Radet.

Zette AI is co-founded by CEO Yehong Zhu and Mohammad Reza Samsami, a MILA M.A. candidate whose research centers around foundation models and reinforcement learning. “We’re honored to be acknowledged as one of the recipients of the Mila Startup Status, and we’re looking forward to seeing what the future holds,” says Samsami.
