With a focus on solutions, Watt-Cloutier brings the realities of the Arctic―where Inuit today face profound challenges to their environment, their economy, their health and their cultural well-being―to light. The challenges they face are clearly connected to the industries we support, the disposable world we have become, and the non-sustaining policies we create. Because her Inuit culture faces the most extreme challenges of globalization, Watt-Cloutier speaks from firsthand experience, and couples that with her extensive experiences as a global leader.

Artificial Intelligence is software that mimics human cognition in order to perform complex tasks and learn from them. Its positive potential is limitless but, like any technology, it can be abused. Criminals are already using audio and video impersonation to defraud and extort us.  Foreign governments are using AI to influence our political beliefs. On the upside, AI can detect fraud, spam calls, and phishing attempts much better than people can. AI never sleeps or even gets tired and it won’t call in sick.

Join Chris Mathers as he shares the latest amazing advances in AI, describing how the bad guys are using this amazing technology against us and how the good guys are using it to catch them.

Losses from wildfire in Western Canada over the past decade have cost more than billion, not counting the money that was spent on suppression activities and cleanup.  Most predictions indicate that climate change will result in increased annual temperature in Western Canada and, as a result, a more prolonged fire season.  Hardening of communities and assets against wildfire requires a good understanding of the multitude of potential pathways that lead to the destruction.

We have enormous wind and solar power generation potential in Saskatchewan, but their intermittent nature constrains their utility-scale inclusion into our energy-supply mix. Long-duration and scalable energy storage systems like CAES are required to fully integrate renewables by converting this intermittent supply to firm capacity.  Due to our resource-rich and diverse geology, we can store wind and solar generated power as compressed air in salt caverns. When renewables are not available for direct generation, this compressed air can be controllably released to power an electricity-generating turbine.
