ChatGPT and other forms of generative AI hold tremendous potential for local and global innovation. But what ethical considerations are raised when we study the relationship between their theoretical design, development, and evaluation and their real-world applications? And how might we envision and bring into practice a fair and inclusive future of work with ChatGPT, particularly for minority and under-served groups?

Join us in a two-day event where we will begin to answer these questions. On day one, presentations from Canadian academics and industry leaders will equip participants with a practical and intellectual toolkit for understanding what ChatGPT is and what we know about its impact on diverse communities. On day two, participants will reconvene for breakout group activities that will address and engage concerns and opportunities for leveraging ChatGPT, and will offer hands-on experience in exploring the ethical dimensions of generative AI. 

This Workshop is part of the Toward a Fair and Inclusive Future of Work with ChatGPT program and will pave the way for a community of Canadians united by a commitment to the responsible development of guidelines, policies, and safeguards that can lead to the fair and ethical use of generative AI by promoting trust, accountability, and transparency. It is designed to create an inclusive space for the public – including students, instructors, practitioners, academics, artists, and members of minority communities – to share their opinions on the evolving landscape of generative AI, to participate in lively discussion, and to be a part of social and technological transformation.   

Breakfast and light refreshments will be provided.
