CM Labs Acquires AI Redefined
CM Labs Simulations, a provider of simulation-based training for construction, utilities, and ports, has acquired AI Redefined (AIR), a Montreal-based company renowned for its work in real-time, human-AI collaboration.
This acquisition reflects CM Labs’ long-standing mission of transforming workforce development and furthering its legacy as the creator of the industry-leading Vortex platform.
“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 brings a strong record of innovation with its platform that 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.
“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.”
The acquisition of AIR supports CM Labs’ broader vision: to stay ahead of the curve while remaining deeply grounded in the real-world needs of operators, trainers, and industry leaders. It underscores the company’s belief that the best innovations are those that serve a greater human purpose.
“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.”

CM Labs Simulations, a provider of simulation-based training solutions in the construction, utilities, and ports markets, recently expanded into the industrial market.
With a heritage rooted in academic research, industrial partnerships, and customer trust, CM Labs has shaped the evolution of simulation technology through its award-winning Vortex platform. Today’s announcement reinforces its leadership—not by chasing trends, but by setting the standard for excellence and foresight in simulation training.
