Civic Meetup #539: How Governments Actually Govern AI
Ready to join in on the fun?
Topic: How Governments Actually Govern AI
Governments across the world are making AI governance decisions daily but they've prioritized different values, mechanisms, and tradeoffs. Comparing the approaches, we'll look at how these differences materialize on the ground, what each government gets right and wrong, and where Canada sits in all of this.
Speaker: Poe Han Thar Kyaw
Poe works at the intersection of geopolitics and technology. With work spanning 15+ countries, she has advised governments, major tech companies, and the UN on foreign policy, AI governance, and the messier parts of platform regulation.
Agenda:
7:00-7:20 Welcome and Introductions
7:20-7:50 Presentation and Q&A/discussion
7:50-9:00 Breakout groups
