Co-Existing with AI.
Whether you are a student, an entrepreneur, or the leader of a business or a nation, you will need new strategies to become, and remain, successful.
Artificial intelligence is not arriving as a product decision.
It is arriving as a change to what work is, who does it, and what a person is for inside an organization. The Center studies the human side of it. What actually happens to people when the work is done alongside a machine. What a leader is supposed to do about it on Monday.
AI is new. The question is not.
Coexistence is not acceptance.
Living alongside a technology means asking it to show its work before granting it trust. Every institution is held to that standard. Artificial intelligence has mostly been exempted from it. The Center holds itself to the same test.
The question is older than the technology.
The Center has worked on this since 2010. Through robotics. Through the last automation cycle. Now through this one. The through line is not the tool. It is what happens to the people standing next to it.
Written for the person who has to act.
Not for the reader who wants to be persuaded. Every session, assessment and paper ends in something a specific person can do. In an organization that already exists. With the constraints it already has.
How the program works
Convene
Researchers, policy staff and operators in one room, on one question. Not separate rooms describing it to each other.
Publish
Assessments that let someone outside an institution measure it against a standard it did not set. Then the step-by-step material for whoever has to act on the result.
Advise
Private briefings and workshops for leadership teams, delivered by the Center's own principals. No client, sponsor or employer determines what the program publishes.
The record
Senate of Canada · 2 February 2017
We told the Senate Canada needed a robotics strategy. It still does.
Japan had published a New Robot Strategy. China had Made in China 2025. Canada, the Center told the committee, had grants. Nine years on it installs 241 industrial robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers against Korea's 1,220, and the Canadian Robotics Council is still asking for the document the Center asked for in 2017.
Every claim from that appearance is graded in public, with sources. The ones that broke are on the same page as the ones that held.
Read the scorecard
Bring the program into your organization.
Delivered by the people who did the research, shaped around what your organization is working through.
Ninety minutes with a leadership team. The argument, the evidence behind it, and what it means for one specific operation rather than for the economy.
A full day, built around the decisions actually in front of the team. They leave with their own answer written down, not the Center's.
The Center works alongside a team across a quarter or a year, because the question keeps moving and a single session freezes it.
The organization hosts a public session and shapes the agenda alongside the Center rather than joining a finished one.
