Amid the hype, how can AI help build a better Canada?

We’re already home to elite AI talent amid a global boom. And our innovation ecosystem is a major asset.

We now need to implement regulation and build AI tools we can trust – to deliver a better digital government and a more innovative economy.

This November in Ottawa, The Data Effect will examine how to build trusted guardrails to put AI to work, and explore the emerging global collaboration to manage this rapidly evolving technology.

Canada can lead the world in building a national approach to AI that drives human development.

Join us at The Data Effect Ottawa to build our AI future.
