About this Event

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we live, work, and interact with public institutions — but too often, the people most affected are excluded from the conversation.

​The Ottawa Responsible AI Talks (ORAT) is a quarterly public event hosted by the Ottawa Responsible AI Hub (ORAH), designed to bring community voices, real-world experience, and innovative thinking to the forefront of AI conversations.

Join us for our inaugural session on Thursday, September 4, 2025, where we’ll explore how responsible AI is being practiced locally — highlighting lived experiences, grassroots initiatives, and creative solutions in areas like healthcare, education, employment, housing, and digital rights.

​Through inspiring talks, storytelling, and an engaging panel discussion, we’ll look at how Ottawa’s diverse communities are shaping AI that reflects democratic values, equity, and the public good.

​Whether you’re a technologist, policymaker, student, advocate, or simply curious about AI, this event is for you.

​What to Expect:

  • ​Thought-provoking keynote talk on Democratizing AI: Building Open Tools for Public Impact
  • ​Lightning talk showcasing Creative AI with Seniors
  • ​Panel discussion: Responsible AI in Practice — From Vision to Action
  • ​Q&A with speakers & audience
  • ​Networking with civic tech, policy, and community leaders

  • 📍 Venue: Incubator 13, Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre, 815 St. Laurent Blvd, Ottawa, ON K1K 3A7
  • 🕠 Time: 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM (EDT)
  • 🚗 Free parking on site
  • 🎟️ Admission is free, but space is limited — register now to secure your spot!
