Canadian Responsible AI – Meet and Greet
Last May 26th a great number of Canadian researchers got together to discuss this important topic.
Given the many activities that are fortunately happening around the responsible and ethical aspects of AI here in Canada, we organized an event in conjunction with Canadian AI 2022 this year to become familiar with what everyone is doing and what activities they are engaged in.
It was wonderful to start building a unified community here in Canada around responsible AI so we can support each other and find ways to more effectively collaborate and synergize. The event was held in the form of a casual, discussion-oriented one rather than talks or formal presentations.
The meet and greet was hosted by Ebrahim Bagheri, Eleni Stroulia and Graham Taylor.

FROM DATA TO DECISION (FD2D)
Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence from Data Value Chain to Human Value
An international group of researchers and innovators at 22 leading academic institutions and technology companies in North America, Europe and Asia, that develop and study digital transformation and artificial intelligence applications across various academic disciplines and industrial sectors as well as their impact on society.
AI4Society has helped in the formation of this excellent initiative and we are proud to show it to the world.

natHACKS is an event like no other, inspiring beginners and intermediates to develop practical neurotech skills and challenging competent hackers to apply themselves in this growing and exciting field. Spanning two weeks and culminating in a 64-hour hackathon weekend, the event will combine workshops, challenges, and networking opportunities for anyone interested in neurotechnology. With three different streams, $20,000+ in prizes, and separate judging criteria based on experience level, we're thrilled to allow neurotech enthusiasts to get their hands dirty in a diverse selection of projects.
