The Waterloo Forum: AI Debate

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our lives. We see its impact on social media. We use it to translate, write emails, gain an edge on the stock market, drive cars, and even think for us. Many believe that this is just the start. Artificial Intelligence may have the power to disrupt the very foundations of how we live. One of those foundations is our country, Canada. Many of us are grateful to live in a country with an elected government, independent courts, social services, and civil liberties. In a time when the world anticipates the disruption that AI may bring, The Waterloo Forum asks, “Will AI undermine Canadian democratic institutions?”
