McCAIS Inclusive AI Event
Overview
Join the McGill Collaborative for AI and Society (McCAIS) for its inaugural Inclusive AI event.
This half-day event brings together students and researchers in AI-related fields spanning across all McGill faculties to explore how we can break down barriers to participation and make AI and data science more inclusive for under-represented communities.
The event will include a keynote address from Doina Precup (Associate Professor, McGill University School of Computer Science), student and researcher panels, and be followed by a networking cocktail reception.
Inclusive AI is open to students in all McGill faculties. Register below and secure your spot for the event!
