New report weighs in In April 2024, the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society (SRI) hosted a workshop that brought together 33 high-level experts to explore the viability of regulatory markets—an AI governance proposal put forward by former SRI director Gillian K. Hadfield and co-author Jack Clark. Over the course of the workshop, participants identified key challenges and worked through practical steps to move from theory to operationalization, laying the groundwork for a clear roadmap toward future governance. Their findings are captured in a new report (PDF) published by SRI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/08df8a23-b108-4fdf-9e84-a8be56b45725/RegulatoryMarketsWorkshop.jpg News - Can a market-based regulatory framework help govern AI?

Ahmed contends scholars must move away from “universal” notions of intelligence, and foster situated ethical frameworks that take into account local hopes, faith-based traditions, and stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/2ad88f35-3143-4a29-969b-a7686e5fa329/c6.jpg News - Hope, faith, and stories: What betting, witchcraft, and craftsmanship in rural Bangladesh teaches us about ethical pluralism and decolonizing AI - Make it stand out A “Nakshi-Katha” artwork created by a woman in rural Bangladesh, which visualizes all the important events she had in the past year.

Research Our Research Stream’s core intellectual agenda is overseen by our Research Leads, highly experienced senior scholars in fields ranging from computer science to philosophy, political science, and law. The Research Stream aims to investigate and transform the way we think about how technology, systems, and society interact. It’s deeply informed by four interwoven “conversations” that take into account the nature of information, the human norms and values that comprise communities, the question of alignment between these values and information, and finally, the dynamics at play between technology and the human agenda. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1594056698332-RJTR61IY9AYIJTUYTQXY/lZvKBX9A.jpg What We Do - Solutions Our Solutions Stream aims to meet the demand within industry, government, and civil society for innovative, actionable, and both locally and globally relevant solutions to the challenge of building safe, responsible, and inclusive AI. Our team of public policy researchers are investigating the crucial regulatory and legislative challenges of the artificial intelligence era. We move beyond abstract principles, ethics, and guidelines to develop real solutions. We believe that new models are needed, ones which reimagine the relationship between citizens, government, and the private sector. https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-29 https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/events daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/solutions daily 0.75 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/fc69ee12-0d67-48c8-b29e-08f77ce3d803/puzzle-blue-square.jpg Solutions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1596204839517-Q9FMUV9U02474ECASFMD/Group+of+researchers+examining+a+white+board+chart Solutions Solutions Workshop with Diabetes Action Canada, 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1627565318504-ZCE9MVFHH4V9XDF0TCUI/Creative+Destruction+Lab Solutions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1627565047036-5CGD0ZS4K3OGCBQUY3N4/The+Rockefeller+Foundation Solutions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1627565029185-8UZ8K66A2IDSWORWJJLN/Center+for+Advanced+Study+in+the+Behavioral+Sciences Solutions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1627565684950-EGMZP38JTQU0QQ0CDA94/MaRS Solutions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1627565260093-0I75I0CYGR4P0S6V5UN1/Toronto+Region+Board+of+Trade Solutions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1627565181120-NBZRBF23UFQ70X3Q8Y7P/Diabetes+Action+Canada Solutions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/wendy-wong daily 0.75 2021-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b24bc96ec4739e7275d3/1598890026595-EDS13659M5EUXT9TZZI7/Wendy-Wong-Schwartz-Reisman-Institute.jpg Wendy Wong - Wendy H.
