A Word from our Founder

2025 is a year of uncertainty and disruption. Getting through the upcoming adjustments will require everyone’s efforts. That’s why I want to make sure that my extensive experience in navigating rapidly changing and complex landscapes, is at the service of a sovereign Canadian AI ecosystem, and that you know I’m here to help. I’ve had the chance to engage with multinational Canadian based companies in tech and engineering, with local fishermen in Gaspésie, Québec as well as international business associations from Brazil. I’ve had the honour of representing Canada in countries such as Singapore, Chile and the United States. I’ve also worked extensively with the arts and cultural sector which has a pivotal role moving forward, both economically and politically. Whether in the field of industrial engineering or in the arts, the impact of AI is quite similar. The effects on knowledge creation, the emergence of new ideas, and the safeguarding of this heritage are often alike. 

I believe that the future of AI isn’t technological. The future of AI, and its impact on society, is grounded in how we work together as a society, in trust and collaboration. It’s cultural.

AI Impact Alliance is a strong network of high-level experts locally and internationally who share that mission, and who want to help you grasp the benefits of AI but avoid the risks. AI Impact Alliance’s mission has always been to better understand the impact of AI and society and using that understanding to steer its use towards the common good.

For all our sake, for our kids’ sake, let’s get AI right together. 

Sincerely,

Valentine Goddard
