Mission

The AI Ethical Futures Lab is a community-driven initiative within the BC + AI Ecosystem Association, dedicated to fostering responsible AI development through collaborative research, policy engagement, and ethical framework development.

We bridge the gap between AI innovation and ethical implementation, ensuring British Columbia leads in building trustworthy, inclusive, and community-centered AI systems.


Our Approach

Community-First Ethics: We believe ethical AI emerges from diverse voices, not corporate boardrooms. Our work centers Indigenous knowledge systems, grassroots perspectives, and lived experiences.

Policy Meets Practice: We translate ethical frameworks into actionable guidelines for developers, policymakers, and organizations implementing AI systems.

Trust Through Transparency: We champion open processes, clear accountability mechanisms, and inclusive decision-making in AI governance.
