- **Event Description**: Dive into how AI is reshaping education, public policy, and the economy—join us in person for the AI Symposium!About this EventHypatia AI Research Symposium on Education, Public Policy &amp; Economic DevelopmentJoin us in person for an exciting day diving into how AI is changing the game in education, shaping public policy, and boosting economic development. Connect with experts, share ideas, and explore future possibilities in a relaxed, interactive setting.Canada and the world are changing rapidly before our eyes. Prime Minister Mark Carney has encouraged us to "take down the sign" and the myths of the former economic order and start afresh to build a new world order where middle powers can cooperate to gain more control over our destiny.The last two conferences held in North Vancouver, Data Centres in an Age of Heterogenous Computing (2024) and the AI Summit &amp; Research Symposium (2025) have focused mainly on the technology but now it's time to hear from some of Canada's leading public policy experts and leading educators about how AI can go beyond the powers that be, how AI can be leveraged for good, how human rights and AI agent governance can unfold, and how creative ideas can spur socio-economic development.AI is moving faster than policy but this movie has been seen before. What happens when government picks the winners and losers? What will befall those that are left behind in the job market? What is Canada's role in the AI race between the United States and China? How can our local communities benefit? Is this just for the elite and powerful or can small and medium sized companies benefit too?The Hypatia Research Centre in Education, Public Policy and Socio-economic Development (AIresearchpolicy.org) invites you to join us to explore these topics and more with our expert keynote presenters Senator Yuen Pau Woo, Talita Dias of Partnership on AI, Don Wright, Senior Counsel at Global Public Affairs, and Susan Romeo-Gilbert of Access2Innovate Foundation.Zen Launchpad's Scale AI Accelerator Cohort 2 will also be presenting during the lunch showcasing some innovative AI-powered, Canadian ventures. Cohort companies include Logisrch, Cithorum, Duotone, eGrowth and Triweco.Note: Speaker topics are still being finalized and may change slightly.Agenda?: 08:30 AM - 09:45 AMSpeaker Breakfast - Pinnacle Lobby Hotel Event Room?: 09:45 AM - 10:00 AMRegistration?: 10:00 AM - 10:15 AMWelcome &amp; Introductions - Susan Romeo-Gilbert, Access2Innovate Foundation?: 10:15 AM - 10:45 AMNational Strategy to Engage Canadians Abroad in AI Era - Senator Yuen Pau Woo?: 10:45 AM - 11:15 AMHuman Rights Risks of Autonomous Al Agents - Talita Dalias, Partnership in AI?: 11:15 AM - 11:30 AMCoffee Break?: 11:30 AM - 12:15 PMGovernment Policy &amp; Econ Dev Lessons Learned - Don Wright, Senior Counsel, GPA?: 12:15 PM - 12:30 PMZen Launchpad Scale AI Cohort 2 Pitches - Carolina Vecino?: 12:30 PM - 01:30 PMLunch?: 01:30 PM - 02:00 PMK-12 AI Education Access - Susan Romeo Gilbert, Access2Innovate Foundation?: 02:00 PM - 02:45 PMAI Policy Panel - Don Wright, Talita Dias, Susan RG?: 02:45 PM - 03:00 PMZen Launchpad Scale AI - Cohort 3 Pitches - Carolina Vecino?: 03:00 PM - 04:30 PMNetworking at Joey's
