The University of Ottawa AI + Society and IVADO release a global policy brief led by Prof. Florian Martin-Bariteau and Prof. Catherine Régis to provide policymakers with actionable globally-oriented policy guidance on the impact of AI on democracy and electoral integrity

The static nature of algorithmic impact assessments makes them ill-equipped to fully protect against embedded gender biases. A holistic approach that includes feminist methodologies and perspectives, like the “woman question”, is necessary to preemptively tackle these issues.

Current AI methods lack an understanding of legal decision-making. Legal meanings are often lost and expertise is at risk. We need new design frameworks to reintroduce lost meanings, prevent expertise loss, and regulate AI system design effectively.

Professor Karine Gentelet and students at the University of Ottawa have developed a reference directory on digital and artificial intelligence ethics for First Nations, produced with the support of the AI + Society Initiative.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, including in the federal government. While AI can enhance efficiency, public servants must be mindful of its social and ethical challenges, including its potential for perpetuating biases.

In new report released by the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Dr. Teresa Scassa and Elif Nur Kumru explore how privacy regulatory sandboxes can help businesses test emerging technologies like AI under regulatory supervision, ensuring privacy law compliance before products or services enter the market.

Avec le Règlement européen sur l’IA, la norme de conformité CE est passée d’un outil de garantie de sécurité à un véhicule de protection des droits fondamentaux. Néanmoins, la logique du standard technique présente de nombreuses limites pour assurer une protection effective des droits.

A renowned scholar looking at the social and ethical dimensions of emerging technologies and their influence on society, Dr. Kelly Bronson has been renewed as a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Science and Society.

A renowned academic on the legal dimensions of artificial intelligence, Dr. Céline Castets-Renard has been awarded a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in International and Comparative Law of Artificial Intelligence.

It seems every week we see more and more stories about rapid advancements in AI technology – some whip up excitement, while others spark fear. But how excited or scared should we be? A lot depends – and will continue to depend – on how AI is governed. That’s where Professor Céline Castets-Renard is ready to make a difference.
