Toronto Public Tech Workshop 2023

As technology becomes an integral part of our lives, its impact on society is undeniable. From healthcare to education, finance to transportation, technological innovations have transformed the way we live and work. However, the rapid pace of this innovation also raises novel concerns about privacy, security, and equity. There is a pressing need to explore and propose solutions to these challenges through research, policy, regulation, partnerships, and collaborations across various academic disciplines and stakeholders. At the 2023 Toronto Public Tech Workshop, researchers presented new work exploring how to leverage new and existing technologies for public purposes, integrate policy and governance considerations, and build successful partnerships that engage with democratic institutions and public values.
