- **Event Description**: What can policymakers learn from AI adoption across sectors?About this EventArtificial intelligence (AI) is moving rapidly from experimentation to real-world deployment across the economy. From healthcare to supply chain management to public services, organizations are adopting AI tools to improve efficiency, decision-making, and service delivery. Yet the pace and pathways of adoption vary widely across sectors – raising important questions for policymakers.Join us for an engaging discussion with leading voices on AI and public policy to explore adoption across key economic sectors. Through real-world case studies and cross-sector dialogue, panelists will examine what is driving or constraining AI use, and what lessons policymakers can learn from sectoral experiences to design regulatory frameworks that both enable innovation and mitigate potential risks. The discussion aims to move beyond abstract debates about AI toward practical insights that can inform responsive, evidence-based public policy.The panel discussion will be followed by a networking reception with food and beverage service. Note that this is an in-person event.Admission is $10.00 CAD (all proceeds donated to charity)Policy Talks is a joint initiative of the CSA Public Policy Centre, The Dais, and Springboard Policy.PanelistsTerralynn ForsythTerralynn Forsyth is an AI product leader running Cogentic Labs, a product studio focused on AI-forward product development.
