The Waterloo Forum - Fall 2025 Debate

[Arts Communications]

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our lives. We see its impact on social media. We use it to translate, write emails, gain an edge on the stock market, drive cars, and even think for us. Many believe that this is just the start. Artificial Intelligence may have the power to disrupt the very foundations of how we live. One of those foundations is our country, Canada. Many of us are grateful to live in a country with an elected government, independent courts, social services, and civil liberties. In a time when the world anticipates the disruption that AI may bring, The Waterloo Forum asks, “Will AI undermine Canadian democratic institutions?”

Join The Waterloo Forum and its guests Dr. Paul Ward, Dr. Jesse Hoey, Dr. Florian Kerschbaum, and Dr. Matthew Silk in debating this pressing question. The debate will be held on September 17 at 6:30 pm in the E7 2nd Floor Event Space. Bring your questions and an open mind!

The Waterloo Forum is a student-run initiative that aims to build a culture of open dialogue on campus by hosting public debates. By showcasing civil yet robust debate, we aim to inspire community members to think critically—with one another. The Waterloo Forum is sponsored in part by the UW Office of Research.
