Ottawa Responsible AI Summit 2025
Ottawa's role as a centre of governance and technology places it at the heart of debates on the future of Artificial Intelligence. The Summit is focused on ensuring policymakers, researchers, and community leaders not only recognise the urgent challenges of AI but also see the opportunities to build systems that advance equity, accountability, and the public good.
Ottawa today stands at the forefront of the global movement for Responsible AI, with groundbreaking initiatives shaping how data and technology are governed for equity and the public good. These efforts span healthcare, public policy, community data justice, and enterprise governance, offering pathways to embed fairness, accountability, and transparency in the systems that impact daily life.
Ottawa's research and civic ecosystem is a leader in AI ethics and digital governance, driven by collaboration across universities, public institutions, Indigenous advocates, and innovative companies. This community is advancing new approaches to algorithmic transparency, inclusive design, and equity-centered public policy.
