Your Private AI Governance Roundtable
Theories alone don't solve problems. Action does.
The CLAIR AI Governance Association is a private, non-profit community built to bridge this critical gap. We are not a think tank; we are a "do tank." Our sole mandate is to equip leaders with the confidential network, shared resources, and tangible toolkits needed to implement responsible AI with confidence and integrity.
As a Canadian not-for-profit organization, our mission is our only bottom line. Every dollar from this summit—and all our activities—is reinvested directly into creating more accessible resources, fostering our private community for leaders, and advancing the field of AI governance for everyone.
