Hosted at CU@Kanata, Innovation Morning is a signature event series that unites research, policy, and industry to explore meaningful solutions to emerging challenges.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, governments, and communities, the question of how to govern it responsibly has never been more urgent.

Join us for our next Innovation Morning on Governing AI for Public Trust and Responsible Innovation, a thought-provoking event that brings together leading Carleton University voices in AI policy, ethics, and governance. Through expert insights and interactive dialogue, we’ll examine the frameworks needed to build public trust and ensure responsible integration of AI into public systems.

Speaker presentations will be followed by an interactive Q&A session and dedicated networking time, providing space for collaboration and discussion among innovators, academics, and community stakeholders.

Light refreshments will be provided. This event is open to all!
