Gen(Z)AI is bringing 100 young Canadians (17–23) together to help shape the future of AI in Canada.
The Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy is a research organization housed at the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University. The Gen(Z)AI will convene 100 young people, ages 17–23, from across Canada to deliberate on pressing AI issues. Using a novel citizens’ assembly model, participants will engage with leading experts, participate in facilitated discussions, and work together to develop consensus-based policy recommendations to shape Canada’s AI future. This project is being carried out in partnership with Mila – Quebec AI Institute and the Dialogue on Technology Project at Simon Fraser University.
This is a unique opportunity for young Canadians to:
• Enhance their critical thinking and deliberation skills;
• Engage directly with experts and thought leaders;
• Gain hands on policymaking experience;
• Make connections and meaningfully collaborate with peers from across Canada.
