Will Canada’s adoption of AI in the Public Sector ensure it is governed with clear values, ethics, and law in accordance with human rights? The government wants to use AI to predict outcomes and gain deeper insights into behavioural patterns and trends. The government wants to use AI to improve its interaction with citizens. The government wants to offload low-value tasks from employees and make business process more efficient. How will artificial intelligence affect our lives? We could build a richer society and perhaps enjoy a shorter working week, but there are countless pitfalls to avoid and they are not trivial. Hamfisted moves that lead to routine exploitation in our daily lives that leave society more divided than ever and threaten the fundamentals of democracy.

Organizations, both large and small, need to ensure they are taking the necessary steps in protecting their customers’ valuable information from exposure to potential threats around the world. Why is this necessary? Data Protection Agencies and customers around the world are demanding it…..and there are stiff penalties for ignoring these requirements. All companies, no matter where they are located, that have European customers and require access to personal data from Europe must comply with GDPR regulations, or face great financial consequences. Panelists will discuss the reasons behind GDPR regulations, how to ensure your organization is fully compliant and the risks of ignoring the requirements of this new piece of important legislation.
