Are you implementing a community-facing AI solution in the Canadian Public Sector? If you are you MUST read the Stanford AI Index Report. The most critical consideration is that Canadians are in a dead heat for last place in the world for trusting that AI's benefits outweigh the risks. This means that it is not enough to build it, you need to lead with community engagement and clear communications around the responsible and ethical use of your solution. It's reassuring that Info-Tech Research Group's members in the Canadian public sector have been quick to leverage our support in defining practical and actionable approaches to building the AI principles, governance, and strategy that make that lighter work! https://lnkd.in/g4stWKAZ Dave Wallace Theresa Hughes Jim Kirk Benoit Proulx Christine Coz, MSc., CGEIT, CISSP Rob Meikle

According to a McKinsey & Company report from 2022, there has been no substantial increase in organizations’ reported mitigation of AI-related risks. While Canada has emerged as a leader in AI innovation, our inability to mitigate risks might set us back. It will take increased funding, innovation, and talent cultivation for Canada to surpass this challenge. Learn more in a new op-ed by Patricia Thaine from Private AI: https://lnkd.in/ghECHcnr

The recent article "Canadian companies' AI policies aim to balance risk with rewards" emphasizes the importance of thoughtful AI policies. At NuEnergy.ai, we recognize the transformative power of AI while acknowledging the potential risks. CEO Niraj Bhargava states, "You'd be wrong to not leverage the power of this technology. It's got so much opportunity for productivity, for functionality. But on the other hand, if you use it without putting up guardrails, there's a lot of risks." Our approach focuses on balancing innovation with ethical responsibility, ensuring that AI applications remain productive, fair, and safe. We are committed to evolving our policies as AI advances, fostering a culture where trust and safety drive innovation. #NuEnergyAI #AIethics #ResponsibleAI
