We’re excited to announce that Josephine Yam, CEO and Co-Founder of Skills4Good AI, will be the keynote speaker at a significant Global Affairs Canada event, titled: “The Future of Work: Navigating AI’s Promises & Perils in a Global Economy,” in Denver, Colorado. This invitation is a testament to Josephine’s global thought leadership and her remarkable influence in Responsible AI education and upskilling.
Josephine remarked:
“I am deeply honored to be invited to deliver the keynote address at this Global Affairs Canada event, thanks to the gracious invitation from David Smith, Canadian Trade Commissioner, and Sylvain Fabi, Consul General of Canada in Denver, Colorado.
Speaking at this event perfectly aligns with our mission at Skills4Good AI Academy—to empower professionals globally with the skills needed to navigate the Future of Work through Responsible AI education. This opportunity allows us to highlight the critical importance of Responsible AI education and upskilling.
As AI continues to transform industries, we must equip professionals with the knowledge and tools to navigate these changes responsibly, ensuring that AI serves as a force for good in our global economy.”
This keynote address during Denver Startup Week on September 17, 2024, will explore one of the most critical debates of our time: “Is AI creating opportunities and enhancing human potential, or is it threatening to displace jobs on a massive scale?”
Drawing from her extensive experience as an AI lawyer, AI ethicist, and immigrant tech entrepreneur, Josephine will share insights and strategies to help businesses and professionals thrive in an AI-driven world.
This speaking engagement is another milestone in Skills4Good AI’s ongoing collaboration with Global Affairs Canada. They have engaged Skills4Good AI several times to provide Responsible AI education to Canadian Trade Commissioners and Canadian startups in New York City via the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) program.
Also, Global Affairs Canada partnered with Skills4Good AI to conduct a Privacy & Responsible AI Workshop for SMBs & Startups for the Denver entrepreneurial ecosystem in partnership.
