On October 26, 2020, Yoshua Bengio (Université de Montréal, Mila, IVADO, Canada Research Chair in Statistical Learning Algorithms) and Valentine Goddard (AI Impact Alliance) exchanged with the 2020 Cohort of Avant-Garde@CIRANO on the theme "Social Impact of Artificial Intelligence".

Discussions between guest speakers and young leaders included access to artificial intelligence, democratization and data sovereignty, as well as incentives to encourage better uses of technology.

The Avant-Garde initiative aims to create a privileged place for interdisciplinary exchanges and the development of a network of people under 45 with leadership potential.
