Mobilizing cutting-edge research to understand and mitigate risks from advanced AI systems.

About

Trust is the foundation of innovation. For Canadians to confidently embrace and benefit from AI, they must know the technology is as safe as it is powerful. This is at the heart of the mission of the CAISI Research Program at CIFAR, the independent scientific engine of the Government of Canada’s Canadian AI Safety Institute (CAISI).

Funded by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), the CAISI Research Program at CIFAR leverages expertise from across Canada’s world-class AI research community and our three national AI Institutes (Amii, Mila and Vector Institute) to foster innovation, build national research capacity and develop practical tools for responsible AI development and deployment.
