As AI capabilities rapidly evolve, government agencies in British Columbia are being called to lead with integrity and foresight. The rise of automated decision-making brings new responsibilities to BC's public sector—ensuring that systems are fair, transparent, and aligned with the values of British Columbians. With regulatory frameworks emerging across Canada and globally, the pressure is mounting to move from experimentation to structured approaches that fit BC's unique context.

The challenge is twofold: leaders across provincial ministries and agencies must enable innovation while embedding the guardrails that make AI safe and accountable for citizens. Public sector leaders in BC need to strengthen their governance maturity, build AI literacy throughout their teams, and operationalize trust at scale for the communities they serve. When done right, robust AI governance becomes a strategic advantage, empowering BC agencies to act confidently and uphold the highest ethical standards.

This event is designed to bring together government leaders from across British Columbia to explore practical governance strategies, respond to evolving regulatory demands, and embed accountability throughout the AI lifecycle in the BC public sector.
