Mindful Artificial Intelligence Research Institute
About MAIRI
We’re home to the Mindful Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (MAIRI), which champions a vision for a thoughtful, intentional and inclusive approach to AI research and innovation. With a deeply interdisciplinary approach that weaves together expertise spanning the social and the technical, MAIRI brings together more than 50 professors from across all six of Ontario Tech's faculties, as well as strategic partners.
Rather than trying to be perfect, AI systems should be designed to recognize their own limits and prompt human oversight when needed. This approach leads to smarter technology that also prioritizes human well-being, dignity and ethical values. Dr. Peter Lewis Associate Professor in Faculty of Business and Information Technology, and the Canada Research Chair in Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence
Partnerships
Our strategic partners include the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), Lakeridge Health, Meta and Ontario Shores, with more to come.
