SUMMARY:The Waterloo Forum: AI Debate

DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our lives. W

 any\nbelieve that this is just the start. Artificial Intelligence may have
 \nthe power to disrupt the very foundations of how we live. One of those\n
 foundations is our country\, Canada. Many of us are grateful to live in\na
  country with an elected government\, independent courts\, social\nservice
 s\, and civil liberties. In a time when the world anticipates\nthe disrupt
 ion that AI may bring\, The Waterloo Forum asks\, “Will AI\nundermine Ca
 nadian democratic institutions?”
