About

The Centre for Advancing Responsible and Ethical Artificial Intelligence (CARE-AI) is located in the heart of the Toronto-Waterloo corridor, at the University of Guelph (U of G). CARE-AI is unique, as it integrates ethics, governance and social responsibility with technical leadership. Our researchers span from faculty across all Colleges on UofG’s campus – working in one or more of the three core pillars: AI methodologies; AI applications; and AI responsibility.

CARE-AI expands our research community’s expertise and fosters a network of over 90 researchers and scholars from across campus, as well as includes an advisory panel of academic and industry leaders. It will focus on applying machine learning and AI to U of G strengths, including human and animal health, environmental sciences, agriculture, agri-food, business, insurance and the bio-economy. CARE-AI researchers will investigate methodologies, including learning algorithms, human-computer interfaces, data analytics, sensors and robots. Researchers at CARE-AI work collaboratively with inter-disciplinary departments, industry partners as well as other institutions to support CARE-AI’s ecosystem.

“I think the CSAI program has encouraged me to consider broader ethical implications of applying AI solutions within the medical imaging field. This focus will be invaluable going forward as issues related to respecting patient data privacy and ensuring the fairness of any AI solution are highly relevant to solving healthcare problems.”
