There is no argument that science can have a profound impact on developing and shaping the public policies that affect Canadians. However, the transmission of science from universities, research institutions, and industry into the hands of policy makers is not always a clear, direct route. There can be many bumps on the road.

Warren Mabee, Associate Dean and Director of the School of Policy Studies, moderated the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s panel on AI and Natural Resources Management.

The Canadian Science Policy Conference, now in its 11th year, is a forum bringing together over 900 research, industry, and government leaders to discuss how to bridge the gaps between these sectors. This year카지노 게임 컬렉션s conference featured discussions around science and technology and inclusivity in science, and included a keynote discussion on the future of Canadian research with Donna Strickland, 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics laureate, and Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada.

Members of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s research community participated in the national conference, taking the opportunity to highlight the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s areas of research strength that address challenges affecting Canadians and could serve to directly impact and influence current and future policymaking. Conference participants had a chance to view the new central , a digital platform aimed at connecting external stakeholders such as government with the research happening at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.

As part of the conference program, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s also led a panel discussion on artificial intelligence (AI) and natural resources management, featuring Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s researchers Warren Mabee, Director, School of Public Policy and Canada Research Chair in Renewable Energy Development and Implementation, and Joshua Marshall, Interim Director of Ingenuity Labs. The panel, which included representatives from Natural Resources Canada, Farmer카지노 게임 컬렉션s Edge, and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, looked at proper management of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s renewable and non-renewable natural resources.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Management of our land, air, water, and diversity of plants and animals is critical to maintaining our quality of life,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Warren Mabee.  카지노 게임 컬렉션To do so effectively, what new tools can we employ to monitor, model, and manage these resources? What role will artificial intelligence play in scientific decision-making leading to thoughtful policy?카지노 게임 컬렉션

The discussion led to exploration of what impact AI might have on the natural resources sector, including employment and changing practice. Questions around how government is supporting AI development in the industry and how to prepare citizens for changes happening around the increasing use of AI, robotics, and automation in the natural resources sector were also examined.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Because Canada is a country rich in natural resources, we have the opportunity to be frontrunners and leaders in this discussion,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Joshua Marshall. 카지노 게임 컬렉션How we use AI to support responsible and safe economic development, and protection, of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s natural resources is a question we need to answer, and I카지노 게임 컬렉션m happy to see Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s at the table in leading these types of dialogues.카지노 게임 컬렉션
