CM Labs Simulations has acquired AI Redefined (AIR), a Montreal-based company known for its work in real-time, human-AI collaboration.
The acquisition of AIR supports CM Labs’ vision to stay ahead of the curve while remaining grounded in the real-world needs of operators, trainers and industry leaders.
“For more than 25 years, CM Labs has pioneered using engineering quality simulations to create training experiences that mirror real-world operations,” said Robert Weldon, Chief Executive Officer at CM Labs.
“This acquisition reflects not just an investment in AI, but a continuation of our purpose: to redefine how training is delivered across critical industries. We see a future where intelligent training systems empower people—not replace them—and this acquisition brings us a step closer to that vision.”
Founded in 2017, AIR’s platform t enables seamless incorporation of AI capabilities into training and learning. Originally designed for high-stakes sectors like aerospace and defense, this technology aligns naturally with CM Labs’ mission to create responsive, real-time learning environments that evolve with the learner.
AIR built Cogment, an award-winning AI platform that provides the means to design, train and deploy complex intelligence ecosystems that mix humans and AI agents of various kinds. It enables humans and AI to explore context and learn together across real-world and simulated environments in real time, supporting commercial applications in areas like aerospace, urban mobility, logistics, and renewable energy.
“At AIR, we’ve always believed that AI is at its best when it collaborates with humans and have demonstrated it in the areas of learning and decision-making,” said Dorian Kieken, Founder of AIR. “By joining CM Labs, we can further our human-AI collaboration technology with a team that not only shares that belief but also has the reach to bring it to industries where training innovation can make the most impact.”
With a background in academic research and industrial partnerships, CM Labs has shaped the evolution of simulation technology through its award-winning Vortex platform.
“CM Labs has always been more than a technology company—we’re a catalyst for industry transformation,” said Danial Alizadeh, CM Labs’ Vice President of Engineering. “This acquisition reaffirms our leadership at the intersection of simulation and intelligent systems. As industries confront increasingly complex training needs, CM Labs remains committed to unlocking human potential through adaptive, immersive solutions.”
