AI Policy Compass: Navigating the Opportunities and Risks of AI

Mila and the PPF Academy are delighted to be joining forces to launch a joint learning programme. AI Policy Compass is designed to provide policy and decision-makers with a foundational understanding of AI technology, including an audit of current and emerging applications, its risks and transformative opportunities across all domains. It showcases the latest legal and regulatory approaches to AI around the world and imparts the essential knowledge needed to shape the future of AI governance. 

 

Mila et l'École du FPP ont décidé d’unir leurs forces pour lancer un programme éducatif conjoint. Le programme Boussole des politiques en IA est conçu pour fournir aux décideurs et aux responsables politiques une compréhension fondamentale de l'IA, incluant les applications actuelles et émergentes ainsi que les risques et opportunités de transformation dans tous les domaines. Il comprend les plus récentes approches juridiques et réglementaires mondiales de l'IA et apporte les connaissances nécessaires pour façonner l'avenir de la gouvernance de l'IA.

 

The program takes place in Montréal (Mila offices, Little Italy neighborhood) and Ottawa (PPF offices, downtown Ottawa).
