This Monday, I had the pleasure of co-organizing a People's Consultation on AI event (background: https://www.peoplesaiconsultation.ca/) in Toronto with fellow members of Tech Workers Coalition Canada and members of @techfordemocracy. I had the special privilege of moderating a panel with amazing panelists: Cynthia Khoo, @anabrandusescu, Camila Justino, and Andrew Do. Lots of really engaging discussions and sense of collective solidarity! #PCAI #Canada
