The Waterloo Forum: AI Debate
2025-09-17 18:30 - 20:30 | PSE - 2nd Floor 200 University Ave West Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada
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?”
