🎧 New 404 - Policy Not Found Episode:

The future of AI doesn’t have to belong to Big Tech. What if we invested in a future for the public good? 

🎙️ This week on 404 – Policy Not Found, we sit down with two tech leaders at the forefront of the Public AI movement: Jake Hirsch-Allen, Senior Advisor at The Dais and co-author of Mozilla’s recent proposal for Canada to champion Public AI as a public good, and Nicholas Vincent, Assistant Professor at Simon Fraser University and leading voice in AI ethics and data stewardship. 

Episode #3 | Envisioning AI as a Public Good

In this episode, we’ll explore what Public AI is, how it is taking shape, what’s at stake, what a robust and thriving public-oriented AI ecosystem could look like, emerging governance models, and the future of open, democratic AI designed to serve society as a whole – and for good.
