Governor General’S Innovation Awards (Ggia) Assessment Committee MemberRideau Hall Foundation / Fondation Rideau Hall Dec 2022 - PresentInnovation is one of the primary driving forces behind Canada’s prosperity, standard of living and quality of life. While Canadians are some of the world’s most accomplished innovators, we seldom recognize ourselves as such or celebrate our outstanding contributions to our society.In today’s competitive and interconnected world, increasing productivity through the creation of new products and services, improving public sector performance, and building an inclusive, compassionate society will be the keys to Canada’s success as a caring, efficient and prosperous nation. As innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit are fundamentally important to all Canadians and can have a transformative, positive impact—regardless of whether it is in the private, public or not-for-profit realms—the awards encompass all sectors of Canadian society.Each year since 2016, up to six award winners are identified through a two-stage, merit-based selection process. The Office of the Secretary to the Governor General and the Rideau Hall Foundation oversee the execution of all aspects of the program.The objectives of the GGIAS are to celebrate excellence in innovation across all sectors of Canadian society and inspire Canadians, particularly Canadian youth, to be entrepreneurial innovators, and help improve the quality of life in Canada and around the world. I am very honoured and excited to have been appointed to play an active role in this unique, life-changing journey. -

The objective is to help Canadians have a more grounded conversation around AI, and help citizens better understand the technology, its potential uses, and its associated risks.The Working Group will provide recommendations to the Government of Canada Advisory Council on Artificial Intelligence. The Working Group will examine avenues to boost public awareness and foster trust in AI in order to better ground the Canadian discourse in a measured understanding of the technology, its potential uses, and its associated risks.The scope of the Working Group will be limited to three key areas:1) Develop regional approaches for engaging the public, provinces, territories and municipalities, with consultations launched in early 2021.2) Conduct a dialogue with Canadians to identify opportunities and risks of deploying AI technologies (e.g., perceived intention; responsible use grounded in ethical principles and human rights; data protection; adapting to increased automation).3) Provide a report on engagement activities and recommend opportunities for sustained public awareness by Summer 2021.Through a partnership with the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR), and Algora Lab (University of Montreal), the Working Group conducted virtual workshops across Canada to engage in discussions with the public on perceptions of AI. The Open Dialogue: Artificial Intelligence in Canada was carried out in the format of virtual workshops with the intent of reaching over a thousand participants. Significant focus was directed towards achieving regional representativeness as well as inclusivity of marginalized populations through targeted workshops for Indigenous and youth participants. These workshops took place from March 30 to April 30, 2021. -
