“We need to get AI out of the academic milieu and reach out to the community, we need to facilitate a discussion, a collective co-creation and forge a united front to the real risks of AI,” explains Valentine Goddard, organizer and executive director of Artificial Intelligence Impact Alliance (AIIA). “AI is both a hope and a danger. There are political choices to be made and the ordinary citizen must understand them. We have the responsibility to not leave these decisions in the power of a handful of individuals.” warned Professor Yoshua Bengio, award-winning deep learning pioneer, a supporter and regular keynote at the conference. This unique conference is organized by AI Impact Alliance and is designed to shape the social impacts of AI. Speakers and participants offer solutions and make concrete suggestions on how to implement AI in a way that reflects a diverse and rich tapestry of humanitarian values. The political, economic and social context in Quebec and the world is facing a historical period of change. To become a world leader on the social impacts of AI, not only do we want AI to be developed ethically and responsibly, we need to make sure it is implemented equitably and accessible to everyone. At the intersection of technology and society, this conference increases civic engagement and digital literacy, showcasing SDG-oriented organizations as well as numerous AI, data science, ethics, social innovation researchers. We value interdisciplinary design of AI, and democratic processes in AI Policy and Governance.
