Connectionists: Call for Participation: Responsible AI Conference track at the Canadian AI Conference

[Calvin Hillis]

Hello all,

This year the Responsible AI Conference Track at the 2025 Canadian AI
Conference will be held in Calgary on Tuesday, May 27. This marks the
fourth iteration of our conference track and the first time it’s being
hosted in Alberta.

The track is organized by the NSERC-CREATE Responsible AI program, a
national training initiative focused on AI ethics for interdisciplinary
researchers. Over the past three years, the track has grown into a vibrant
space for critical discussions about the social and ethical dimensions of
AI, and we’re eager to connect with more researchers and students in
Alberta.

We’re reaching out again to invite you—and especially your students and
peers—to participate in the track’s events, which include:

3-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition – students deliver concise, engaging
presentations about their AI-related research.

Student Research Poster Session – an opportunity to share in-progress or
completed research.

In addition, we’re hosting panels, invited talks, and networking
opportunities that welcome participation from researchers, professionals,
and students across disciplines.

We’d greatly appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with your
network. There are still funds available, and we encourage students to
apply:

🔹 5 conference registration awards available: forms.gle/oBmooiRuSPNvkDgNA
🔹 10 Travel and accommodation support for Black and Indigenous students:

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like more information about any
of the events or funding opportunities. I’d be happy to follow up.

Thanks so much for considering this, and we hope to see you in Calgary at
the end of May!

Best regards,
