It was a pleasure meeting with Deborah MacLatchy, President of Wilfrid Laurier University, to discuss both the opportunities and challenges artificial intelligence presents for our economy and institutions.
Wilfrid Laurier University continues to play an important leadership role in advancing research and thoughtful governance around AI, including its work with the Balsillie School of International Affairs (BSIA) on digital governance initiatives.
