From the Blue Community mother house Council of Canadians:
The AI Civil Society Summit, in Montreal on May 22nd, is fast approaching! We have some excellent panels lined up for the event!
The Civil Society Summit on the AI Industry, open to the public, will take place at Centre St-Pierre (1212 Rue Panet) in Montreal/Tiohtià:ke, unceded territory of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, on May 22nd 2026.
Trillions of dollars have been invested in the “Artificial intelligence” industry globally and hundreds of billions are allocated to build out “AI” capacities in Canada from public as well as private funds. This massive concentration of wealth and power is fuelled by the promise that machine learning will become indispensable in much of our economic activity, potentially replacing millions of human workers.
