This October 1, Waterloo Engineering invites you to join us in Toronto for an evening reception and lecture with Professor Larry Smith. The event marks Smith’s remarkable 45-year career at the University where he specializes in forecasting and the economics of innovation.

This event is part of Waterloo Engineering's annual alumni lecture series exploring the forces shaping our global future. This year's focus on economic futures connects to the University of Waterloo's Global Futures vision — a framework for addressing the defining challenges of our time.

Dr. Caroline Running Wolf draws on the historical introduction of the horse to Indigenous communities as a powerful metaphor for the future of artificial intelligence. This talk offers a compelling perspective on AI governance, cultural preservation, and the importance of community-led innovation. 

Dr. Jennifer Boger challenges us to consider a population that AI often overlooks: older adults. Through practical examples and candid discussion, Jennifer will highlight why inclusive design is no longer optional but essential as AI becomes increasingly embedded in our daily lives. 

Olivia DeRamus challenges us to reconsider how AI is being used to keep people safe online. Despite billions of dollars invested in content moderation, today's platforms often amplify misogynistic and radicalizing content while suppressing the women and survivors attempting to share their own experiences.
