In collaboration with the University of Ottawa Centre for Law, Policy and Ethics, the Centre for Law, Technology and Society, CLTS, and the Institute for Science, Society and Policy, along with a network of leading experts from the Centre for Environmental Law and Global Sustainability, the LIFE Institute, the Centre for Governance and the Centre for Public Law, this project aims to develop tools and a framework that support policymakers in Canada and abroad in implementing “smart” changes that will foster healthier and more sustainable Artificial Intelligence, AI-powered healthcare and food production.
The Alex Trebek Forum for Dialogue’s Project on AI for Healthy Humans and Environments two streams:
AI and the future of healthcare
This research works to proactively identify and address how society ensures its regulatory governance befits the benefits and challenges emerging with new technologies, and how AI health technologies could deliver optimal and equitable healthcare benefit to all Canadians.
AI and the future of environment
This project sheds light on both the environmental and social impacts of big data and AI in food production. It focusses on what policymakers could do to enable the sustainability gains presented by emerging digitization, while fairly distributing its risks. The project furthers Canada’s leadership on inclusive innovation, climate adaptation and mitigation by testing the sustainable potential of AI applied to food and inquiring into the social impacts of big data and AI especially among historically marginalized food system actors.
