SUMMARY:What are your thoughts on AI? A People's AI Micro-Consultation at UBC
DESCRIPTION:March 5\, 12pm-1pm | Peña Room (301) IKBLC\n\nContext\n\nIn 
 October 2025\, a federal taskforce was convened to gather stakeholder 
 opinions and develop a roadmap for AI in Canada. In an open letter\, 
 several Canadian human rights groups have objected to the way this 
 consultation was held however\, criticizing its short timeframe and limited 
 consultation of impacted communities. These groups have launched a 
 “People’s Consultation on AI”\, and are calling on the public to 
 contribute comments and participate in local discussions. The goal is to 
 allow the broader public to share their thoughts on AI strategy and to 
 broaden the previous federal consultation.\n\nDigital Tattoo Facilitated 
 Discussion \n\nThis discussion\, facilitated by The Digital Tattoo 
 Project\, will guide participants through an exploration of their personal 
 experiences and beliefs about AI. Participants will have the opportunity to 
 share their perspectives and their thoughts on how AI is impacting their 
 community\, and to learn from the experiences of the rest of the group. 
 \n\nThe facilitation will follow the structure outlined by the People’s 
 AI Consultation. At the end of the session\, we plan to draft a submission 
 to this consultation\, summarizing the concerns and comments raised 
 throughout.\n\nPre-reading\n\nBefore arriving\, please take some time 
 to:\n\n\n	Read the People’s AI Consultation Open Letter\n	Consider 
 reading more about any AI technologies and applications that you are 
 particularly interested in. For example\, the consultation lists some 
 relevant topics and news articles\, and The Digital Tattoo Project provides 
 several AI tutorials.\n\n\nReflect on your experiences with AI\, and 
 prepare one or two examples to share with the group.
