Government Bodies/Policymakers

AI presents regulators with a responsibility to act with thoughtfulness and perspective. As new business models and services emerge, regulators  are challenged with creating, modifying or enforcing regulations and policies. And they must do this while working within existing frameworks and attempting to foster innovation. For technological innovation, regulation can be catalytic—or a hindrance. The Centre collaborates closely with government bodies and institutions and partners with forward thinking organizations to offer increased support and training, so that our research has the most impact in the public sector and society.
