Have your say on Responsible AI

We believe in responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) and are looking for input from a diverse set of voices. With a human-centred approach, we can build trust in our digital world and make a friendly future for all.

We’re asking all Canadians: what do you want AI to be?

We are creating a community across Canada with various perspectives and identities, including Indigenous Peoples and other diverse groups to help make our digital world friendly for all.

This community will help to ensure that voices from a representative sampling of Canadians are heard and that humanity stays at the center of AI.

Realizing the power of AI, responsibly

Done responsibly, AI can deliver incredible social benefits for a friendly future. TELUS is collaborating with leading global thinkers and average Canadians to ensure that we realize the benefits of responsible AI and mitigate the challenges it can present through online and in-person consultations.

We recently asked Canadians about their thoughts on AI1. Here are some highlights:

85%

believe AI should be developed carefully

82%

feel the development of AI needs to incorporate ethics to minimize harms

71%

say that the development of AI should be in consultation with everyday people

Our approach to Responsible AI

Everything we do is grounded in our commitment to putting customers and communities first, and the TELUS Trust Model, which promotes the use of data in ways that build trust. TELUS is committed to Responsible AI and provides examples of how it is used.
