InspiredMinds!

That’s a wrap. World Summit AI here in Montreal: my gosh we made HISTORY… Too many mind blowing moments to summarise right now - it was PHENOMENAL I’ll gather my thoughts and post a more coherent coverage but right now: Mind blown 🤯 Thank you InspiredMinds! Community of the most jaw dropping people I’ve ever had the pleasure to be in the room with…. Onwards to a bright future for humanity with #ai #wsai #artificialintelligence #democracyisnotdead

✨ That’s a wrap on World Summit AI Canada 2025, and what a journey it’s been. From redefining responsible AI to exploring embodied intelligence, from deep debates on open vs closed models to face-to-face moments with visionaries, these past two days weren’t just about watching the future unfold, it was about shaping it together. 🔍 We heard from leading minds at Microsoft, NVIDIA, Spotify, the FBI, TELUS, Wayfair, McGill, Mila, AMD, and many more. 💡 We tackled ethics, equity, enterprise adoption, and edge innovation. 🤝 We connected across sectors, perspectives, and lived experiences because AI isn’t just a technology, it’s a collective responsibility. To every speaker, partner, participant and volunteer, thank you. You showed us that when humanity leads the way, AI follows with purpose. We even had some incredible music woven in — The Traps - 5am. The opening track from their second album ‘Wild Escape’. For more music from The Traps visit: https://hubs.li/Q03hKGBz0 ✨What was your favourite moment, quote, or experience? Drop it in the comments, we’d love to hear it. Let’s keep doing AI different. Be bold. Be brave and always be an inspired mind. #WSAICanada #WorldSummitAI #AIForGood #ResponsibleAI #AILeadership #InspiredMinds #DoAIDifferent #TheTraps #5AM

You heard it here first 💫

This one hit us right in the heart. Yoshua Bengio opened his talk with a deeply personal story, his worry for his grandson’s future if AI continues unchecked. It was more than a moment. It was a wake-up call. What we build with AI today isn’t just shaping our world it’s shaping theirs. This is why we fight for responsible AI. For the next generation, and the one after that. #WSAICanada #ResponsibleAI #AIForGood #YoshuaBengio

In a world of deepfakes, one of the best tools is still… talking. Educate your loved ones. Skepticism is a survival skill. Robert Petrosino, FBI #MediaLiteracy #DigitalSafety #AIandSociety #WSAICanada #DoAIDifferent

This is what changing the face of AI looks like. Not someday. Not in the future. Right now. 👩💻 From research to robotics, policy to product, these women are leading, innovating, and reshaping what’s possible with AI. At World Summit AI, we don’t just talk about inclusion, we build it. We champion women in AI not because it’s a trend, but because it’s essential to creating a more equitable, powerful, and truly global AI ecosystem. 💥 Tag a woman in AI who’s inspiring you. 🔁 Share this to celebrate the ones breaking barriers. 💬 Tell us: what does a future led by diverse AI look like to you? #WomenInAI #WSAI #DoAIDifferent #EquityInAI #AILeaders #TechForGood #AIForAll #WorldSummitAI #AICommunity

Red Hat’s workshop at WSAI Canada was nothing short of 🔥 "Building with Open Source AI: A Crash Course" From GenAI-powered apps to personalized enterprise solutions, this hands-on session was packed with real-world tools, best practices, and seriously cool live demos. Tackling the big questions 🤔 Which foundation model should I choose? 🔐 How do I keep my data private and avoid cloud lock-in? 🔗 How do I connect AI to my existing systems? The answer? Open source. It’s flexible, transparent, and collaborative, just like the future of AI should be. Huge shoutout to Cedric Clyburn and Legare Kerrison from Red Hat for showing us how to prototype, fine-tune, and scale with open source models on Linux and Kubernetes. Control your AI journey. Build smarter. #DoAIdifferent. #WSAICanada #RedHat #OpenSourceAI #GenAI #AIworkshop #Kubernetes #Linux #AIDevs

🌞 Day 2 at World Summit AI Canada is off to a blazing start. From bold truths to hard questions, this morning’s sessions have been unflinchingly real: 🧠 “You are on the leading edge of ethical, responsible AI.” – Wendell Wallach ⚖️ “AI governance is a must-have, not a nice-to-have.” – PwC 🧬 “First, reframe health problems as machine learning problems.” – Danilo Bzdok 🧩 “Human language reflects human thought.” – Danilo Bzdok We're not just imagining better AI, we're building it. Let’s keep going. Let’s keep it human. #WSAICanada #AIethics #MoralAI #HealthTech #WorldSummitAI #DoAIDifferent

“You don’t need the kind of coding capabilities. That is something that’s going to change in the next, kind of, three, six months.” – Lewis Stott AI deployment is moving fast. Low-code and no-code tools are tearing down the barriers to entry, and we’re entering an era where anyone can build with AI. Is the age of everyone having their own personal AI developer upon us? If you could bring any software to life with just a prompt… what would you create? #LowCodeAI #NoCodeRevolution #AIDeployment #WSAICanada

Day 2 has officially begun! 🚀 We’re back for another round of world-shifting conversations, bold ideas, and future-forward thinking at World Summit AI Canada. Day 1 set the bar high, from Chandra Donelson’s powerful reminder that “No little boy or girl should ever be told they can’t go into data,” to Fiona Tan's sharp truth: “You might build something state-of-the-art… and it’s outdated 3 months later.” This is where trust becomes a social imperative, and disruption is the new default. 💥 As Chandra said: “Don’t ask permission to be disruptive. Turn red tape into your runway and go for it.” Let’s make Day 2 just as bold, brilliant, and transformative. #WSAICanada #AIRevolution #DoAIDifferent #WorldSummitAI
