Securing Canada’s AI Future
Canada— through its governments, private sector and researchers— is making multi-billion-dollar investments in the future of AI. This strategy is key to securing Canada’s lead in AI, driving innovation and productivity.
Join us for a summit that unites entrepreneurs, thought leaders, policymakers, investors and researchers to shape the future of AI. Through panels, keynote speakers and interactive workshops, we will explore:
- Catalyzing AI adoption for Canada’s prosperity: How AI can drive productivity across industries and turn research into practical, prosperity-boosting applications.
- Strategic sectors and Canada’s AI advantage: Discover opportunities in sectors like healthcare, advanced manufacturing and cybersecurity, where Canada can lead globally.
- Building competitive levers for AI leadership: Uncover critical factors such as investment, talent, AI literacy and trustworthy AI practices, needed to secure Canada’s long-term AI success.
- Shaping AI policy and regulation for the future: Explore the regulatory frameworks needed to balance innovation with ethical, responsible AI practices.
- Investing in AI today for tomorrow: Learn how to navigate public and private sector investments to thrive in Canada’s AI funding landscape.
This summit is more than a one-time event; it’s the launch of a yearly initiative aimed at building on our collective progress and involving you in strategizing for Canada’s AI future. By working together with the community, we’ll ensure that Canada remains a global leader in AI.
Hosted by Communitech Good AI and CityAge, this event will set out a blueprint for Canada’s AI leadership and highlight our commitment to ethical and responsible AI.
