Dr. Peter Lewis holds a Canada Research Chair in Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI), at Ontario Tech University, Canada, where he is an Associate Professor and Director of the Trustworthy AI Lab. Peter’s research advances both foundational and applied aspects of AI and draws on extensive experience applying AI commercially and in the non-profit sector. He is interested in where AI meets society, and how to help that relationship work well. His current research is concerned with challenges of trust, bias, and accessibility in AI, as well as how to create more socially intelligent AI systems, such that they work well as part of society, explicitly taking into account human factors such as norms, values, social action, and trust.
