Future of Responsible AI in Canadian Education
A discussion for founders, educators, school leaders, policymakers, researchers, and technologists.
Canada is entering a defining moment for EdTech.
As AI rapidly reshapes education, important questions are emerging: How do we evaluate AI-powered EdTech responsibly? How do we build trust and consistency across Canada's education systems? And what should a uniquely Canadian approach to AI, privacy, accessibility, and student well-being look like?
Today, there is no shared framework that helps schools, school districts, and education organizations consistently assess the technologies they adopt. Procurement expectations vary widely, education is governed provincially, and founders often navigate a fragmented landscape with little guidance.
This roundtable brings together voices from across the ecosystem to begin that conversation.
Agenda
2:00 – 2:30 PM | Arrival & Networking (Small refreshments will be provided)
2:30 – 2:45 PM | Opening Remarks: Why Responsible AI in Education Matters Now
2:45 – 3:15 PM | Roundtable Discussion I: The Current Landscape of AI Adoption in Canadian Classrooms
3:15 – 3:30 PM | Group Shares & Key Insights
3:30 – 3:40 PM | Break & Networking
3:40 – 4:10 PM | Roundtable Discussion II: Building a Canadian Responsible AI Framework
4:10 – 4:20 PM | Group Shares & Key Insights
4:20 – 4:40 PM | Identifying Practical Next Steps & Closing Remarks
4:50 – 5:00 PM | Continued Networking
Rather than arriving with predetermined answers, our goal is to explore what a collaborative, evidence-based trust framework for Canadian EdTech could become, and whether the community is ready to build it together.
Discussion topics include:
Responsible AI in education
Student privacy, safety, and digital rights
Accessibility and inclusive learning
Building trust between schools, families, and technology providers
Procurement challenges across Canada's education system
Opportunities for voluntary standards, transparency, and future certification models
This is designed as a working conversation. We hope participants will openly share perspectives, challenge assumptions, and identify practical next steps that benefit the broader education ecosystem.
Our ambition is to strengthen trust in educational technology while supporting innovation that genuinely improves learning outcomes for students across Canada.
If you're building, deploying, researching, regulating, or supporting education technology, we'd love to have you join the conversation.
