 t
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Building a startup\, venture\, or applied project often means m

 on is designed for students\, graduate students\, founders\,\nstartup oper
 ators\, and project builders interested in\nentrepreneurship\, innovation\
 , commercialization\, and applied\ndecision-making. Participants will lear
 n how to recognize common\ndecision traps\, separate real market signals f
 rom polite feedback\, and\nthink more clearly about what to test before bu
 ilding\, selling\, or\nscaling further.\n\nThe session is led by Vivian Wa
 ng\, an MBET graduate student at the\nConrad School of Entrepreneurship an
 d Business and founder of Growth\nPartner AI\, which was recently recogniz

SUMMARY:The Waterloo Forum: AI Debate
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our lives. W
 e see\nits impact on social media. We use it to translate\, write emails\,
  gain\nan edge on the stock market\, drive cars\, and even think for us. M
 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?”
