On the 16th of April, Mahadeo and Peter accepted an award from Empowered Kids Ontario for their Partnership in explainable AI. This award is one of fifteen Tribute Awards that recognize individuals, teams, and organizations that are changing the lives of Ontario kids with disabilities and developmental needs.
Closing out or year and building on the success of the summer AI event, Ontario Tech researchers working on a range of fundamental and applied questions related to AI gathered to share their work and engage in new discussions. Hosted in the Fireside Reading Room, we fueled our minds as well as our stomachs 🎂.
This week, Peter joined the Lancaster House `Addressing technological change, surveillance, monitoring, and AI at the bargaining table’ panel at the Toronto Labour Arbitration and Policy Conference.
In this session, the panelists discussed the impact of artificial intelligence in the work place, current AI legislation, and how the impacts of AI should be addressed through collective bargaining, among other technology focused concerns.
