Move Beyond the Black Box. Make AI Your Next Move.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a computer science research theory. It is the operating system of modern industry—shaping how businesses manage risk, solve complex problems, and create competitive advantage.

The future requires AI bilingualismthe fusion of AI fluency and deep domain expertise.

Poker Table Talks with CEO Cam Linke

If AI can successfully win at the poker table, imagine what it can do for your business.

Business is a lot like poker. High stakes. Imperfect Information. Intense competition. AI changes the odds.

Why Poker?
In this special conversation, Amii CEO Cam Linke sits down with four of our world-leading AI researchers to talk strategy around the poker table–the very game Amii researcher Michael Bowling and his team used to prove that AI can map the logic of bluffing, risk and strategy uncertainty that corporate leaders navigate everyday.

Here, they discuss the power of AI bilingualism in research, how AI is shaping business decisions, and why the future of machine learning should be a company’s “Next Move” and Amii, the first.

AI + X is the conviction that AI bilingualism—the fusion of AI fluency (AI) and domain expertise (X) —is integral to Canada’s future economic prosperity.

Whether you’re an industry leader solving complex problems, a researcher pushing the limits of machine learning, or a student entering the workforce, AI + X is how breakthroughs move from the lab into the world.

AI + X in Business
You are the X. You are the experts in agriculture, energy, health, fintech, supply chain, and manufacturing. 

We are the AI. We bridge the gap by building true AI fluency within your existing business environment, ensuring your domain experts are empowered to lead tomorrow’s economy.

Our AI + X mindset doesn’t stop with corporate adoption. See how AI + X is reshaping Canada's innovation landscape:

In the News

In Forbes, Amii CEO Cam Linke explains that AI projects often fail because technical developers and industry experts don't speak the same language. To succeed, companies must adopt AI + X--the future of AI adoption.
