Ai To Build A Better World
Data and AI have proven our most powerful tools to fight the pandemic and build our economic future.
These are exciting possibilities and herald the promise of massive breakthroughs in productivity, as well as our health and wellbeing.
But alongside its potential, AI presents major risks. How can we build guardrails to ensure AI is used responsibly?
Meet the leaders committed to thoughtfully, responsibly using data and AI to build a better world.
TORONTO CAN BE A WORLD-LEADING CENTER FOR THE APPLICATION OF AI IN HEALTH.
By combining its strengths in AI research and discovery, advanced medical discovery and digital government, the region can lead the world in using AI to improve people’s lives.
Ontario has the opportunity to focus its formidable resources in machine learning, biotechnology and computational medicine to accelerate discovery and applied innovation. This will drive exciting breakthroughs in drugs, genomics, precision medicine and management of health resources to benefit the world.
But to do that, we must understand precisely where we lead and advance targeted investments in technology, partnerships and the attraction of human talent to lead health care’s AI revolution.
Join us at The Data Effect in Toronto to be at the nexus of AI and health to help keep Canada a leader in public health care.
