📢 Elbows up, Canada! 🍁 Don't let Trump distract our election from the issue that will impact you the most in the next four years.

🗳 You have the power to get #AIinTheDebate! 🗳

AI is a tremendous opportunity, but in the next few years it's on track to disrupt millions of jobs, upend our daily lives, and could even cause global accidents. If we want to reap the 🩺 benefits 📈, our leaders need to tackle the 🌊 wave of impacts. In a recent Environics poll, 75% of Canadians want them to do just that.

Will they require AI content be labelled? Put in place a basic income? Ban unsafe capabilities?
Or will they simply do what big tech's lobbyists tell them to do?

Canadians deserve to hear from our leaders during the upcoming federal leaders' debate - and you can help make that happen!

🎯 Let the debate organisers know you want answers:

✅ How will leaders manage the disruption?
To our jobs and careers
To our kids' education and mental health
To our way of life and relationships
To our ability to trust what we see and hear

✅ How will they keep us safe?
From AI-powered scams and cyberattacks
From bad actors using powerful AI as weapons
From major accidents caused by loss of control
