AI is defining our future. Let’s get it right.

When I watch a documentary on plastics in the ocean or read about the great risks and opportunities of AI, it makes me want to rise to the occasion. I have always cared about the bigger picture, and started my career pushing for action on climate as a political candidate from 2010-2015. I then took a step back and researched the broader range of 21st century trends and challenges, which culminated in my book “A Path Forward This Century” (Dec 2019). The conclusion I came to is that smarter-than-human AI (AGI) is the defining issue we face, and getting it right should be our #1 priority.

In 2022 I founded AI Governance and Safety Canada, and since then have been pushing government and politicians to think ahead and ensure Canada can rise to the challenge of AI. As a leading expert in the governance of advanced AI, I regularly talk to media and give testimony to parliamentary committees.
