"We think about AI as augmenting the capabilities and intelligence of individuals - it's not so much artificial intelligence but augmented intelligence that can make a difference in society. We're thinking about the impact AI could have on healthcare, the environment and on education." Hear more from Jesslyn Dymond, our Director of Data Ethics, in an interview from this year's Collision Conf.

The TELUS Data & Trust and TELUS AI Accelerator teams are proud to sponsor the 20th CIFAR Deep Learning + Reinforcement Learning Summer School.

See you at the Vector Institute next week! https://dlrl.ca/ #AI #Innovation #LifeAtTELUS #DLRL2024

Today, TELUS declared that it will not use AI technology to create or replicate the art or imagery of Indigenous Peoples, proudly upholding its commitment to reconciliation. "At TELUS, we are deeply committed to embracing the important work towards reconciliation and believe that a fundamental aspect of our AI and data ethics efforts is listening and learning from those impacted by and interacting with technology,” said Pam Snively, Chief Data & Trust Officer at TELUS. “We are dedicated to working side by side with Indigenous Peoples to preserve their rich cultural legacy and creative endeavors and hope this inspires other organizations to follow suit.” To commemorate this declaration, TELUS commissioned a work of art by Ken Letander, BSW, MBA, an Ojibway artist originally from Manitoba and now living in Alberta's Treaty 6 region. The artwork is titled “Honour by Design”. To learn more about TELUS’ AI art declaration and future opportunities to have your voice heard on responsible AI, visit https://lnkd.in/dgDxSEph.
