From Engineering to the Law: Artificial Intelligence Policy and Regulation

Jurist-in-Residence at Concordia University, Morton S. Minc cordially invites you to an evening in conversation with Sam Ip, partner at Osler with a specialization in artificial intelligence (AI).

Important Note

This conference will be presented in hybrid mode: you can either attend In-Person or Virtually (on Zoom). You select your option during registration.

Overview

An account of a journey from engineering to the law, highlighting the unique perspective engineers bring to AI regulation.

A discussion on the status of the critically important proposed AI and Data Act (AIDA, Part 3 of Bill C-27) that is currently before parliamentary committee, and how an engineer’s voice can inform workable policy and regulation.

Lastly, drawing from his work with AI companies, the conference speaker will discuss the prospects for young engineers building AI companies, addressing legal hurdles (including compliance with AIDA) and opportunities, and close off with what he wished he knew earlier in his career as a professional engineer and lawyer working with engineers.

Students in the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, lawyers, and the general public are invited to attend.
