The SingularityU Canada Summit is the beginning of a new movement in Canada with a vision to inspire more Canadians to think BIG, take risks, and drive global impact.

2. The SingularityU Canada Summit is the beginning
of a new movement in Canada with a vision to
inspire more Canadians to think BIG, take risks,
and drive global impact.
The summit is not an event. It is a testament of the
power and diversity we have as Canadians to come
together behind a shared sense of purpose and have
strategic conversations about our collective future.
More than 1,300 of the most senior and influential
leaders of our country attended the Summit,
accompanied by more than 6,000 Canadians who
joined through satellite events across the country.
The Founding Members of the movement are
uncommon partners. They are organizations from
both the public and the private sector, from
different industries and across the country – all of
whom came together – as equals – to bring this
strategic content to more Canadians and inspire all
of us to be more courageous.
I would like to thank all of our Founding Members
for their vision and commitment to bringing the
movement to life.
The SingularityU Canada Summit was the start of
something big; something transformative. We look
forward to working with you as together we
continue to build the SingularityU community in
Canada.

SU is not a traditional academic university. It is a think-tank with a curriculum that
changes according to the most recent breakthroughs and inventions from around
the world.
As a catalyst for global change, SU helps others leverage rapidly accelerating technologies
such as Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology, Robotics and Digital biology to unlock
solutions that can positively impact billions of lives.

Decentralized Power
Presentation
Video
This session explores the true potential of decentralization and how the
way we interact digitally will fundamentally change the hierarchical
systems of today.
Key Takeaways:
Social institutions are based on 19th century models
born from industrialization – hierarchy and bureaucracy –
that don’t scale.
The Internet has shown us ways to organize at a
larger scale with flat and non-hierarchical networks (decentralized
organization).
Bitcoin and open blockchains extend that model of organization and add
a model for trust at scale.
Networks that scale allow us to organize more efficiently than
bureaucratic institutions that don’t scale. Eventually, one replaces the
other.
Bitcoin is more than just money – it’s a new model
for organizing trust 48

Should Robots Have
Rights?
Presentation
Video
This session will explore the concept of sentience.
At what point does a robot or AI become a sentient being? What role will they
play in our societies? We’ll take a lighthearted and interactive approach to
tackling some of these deep and important questions.
Key Takeaways:
AGI (artificial general intelligence) is coming and there is nothing we can do to
stop it. We need to stop worrying and turn fear into opportunity by looking at
the ways in which AGI and robotics can make our civilization better.
We have expanded our circle of empathy many times before to grant rights to
different groups of people, animals, and even technologies. In hindsight these
decisions seem obviously correct, even though they were highly controversial
at the time.
By introducing robotic rights we can expand our circle of empathy further to
encompass beings who will ultimately help us to upgrade our civilization to the
next level. Interacting with these beings and having them be an accepted part of
our society will make us MORE human, not less.

50. Debate: The Balance
Between Privacy and
Freedom
Aran Hamilton (Moderator), Ann Cavoukian,

Presentation
Video
What is the cost of being connected and having unlimited access to
information? Is sacrificing privacy a tradeoff to progress or an essential right
we must protect? Let’s take an inward look and debate how we should balance
transparency and security.
Key Takeaways:
While we live in the world where transparency is equated with honesty, we also
live in a world where private information shared publicly can ruin a career, a
marriage, a life. Hear different perspectives on the downsides of privacy and
how transparency, in certain areas, can lead to positive transformation. With
new and scary players using data and information maliciously, we need to
balance our collective need for security with our personal desire for privacy.
How do we personally select the battles worth fighting, the battles we can win?
Consider what compromises you are making everyday to get the information
and services you use everyday. Canada is one of the world leaders in the area
of Digital Identity: policy, regulation, technology. How are private businesses
and governments collaborating or should they be working together to maintain
our basic rights?

The exponential curve of energy technology and what that will mean to
our economy and our world.
Key Takeaways:
The fossil fuel industry is being disrupted by innovation.
The price of solar, wind, batteries, and electric vehicles have all plunged
rapidly, and will continue to plunge.
The coal industry is the first of the three fossil fuel industries to be
affected – with disruption and bankruptcies occurring already.
Oil is next on the horizon, with efficiency, automation, transport-as-a-
service, and electrification all leading to peak oil demand in the next 10-
20 years.
Declining oil demand will lead to low global oil prices, with enormous
ramifications for oil-exporting nations (like Canada).
Businesses and nations who ignore the energy transition stand to suffer
drastic economic losses. Those who embrace it stand poised to reap a
share in a multi-trillion dollar new market.

One of the most impactful factors in energy transformation happens to
also be one where
Canada has some strategic choices to make.
Key Takeaways
Standardization of charging infrastructure for high-powered on route and
depot charging is a crucial step for ubiquitous transit electrification.
The integration of utilities with transit fleet managers in “energy systems
teams” is needed to plan out transit electrification that utilizes energy
storage with high-powered charging (the relationship between utilities
and transit systems remains weak today, across Canada).
The integration of both battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric
transit vehicles is crucial for the full electrification of short-, medium-,
and long-range routes across Canadian and global transit systems.
The integration of “first mile, last mile” small, electrified mobility pods
as feeders into mass transit hubs is critical to the shift towards low carbon
mobility overall.

A strategic conversation and debate on how
everything we know about energy is changing the
future of Canada and impacting all of us.
Key Takeaways:
Canada is one of the world’s five biggest exporters
of energy: oil, natural gas, electricity, uranium, coal.
Canadian living standards are largely underpinned
by this industry, with energy accounting for roughly
40% of total exports annually.
It is critical for Canadians to understand the trajectory
of disruption in all these commodities and figure out how to replace the
economic activity and jobs they generate.

The forces that are creating mounting performance pressure on the
global business landscape and what organizations need to do to
effectively respond to them.
Key Takeaways:
Exponential technology is creating mounting performance pressure
as well as expanding opportunity.
To harness the opportunity, we will have to shift from businesses
driven by scalable efficiency to businesses driven by scalable
learning.
AI/robots will take over virtually all of the work we do in scalable
efficiency businesses but will hopefully be a catalyst to help us re-
think work in ways that tap into our unique capabilities as humans.
There’s significant opportunity, but there are significant challenges
for large, existing institutions – especially the powerful immune
system and antibodies that exist within all of these institutions and
that will mobilize to resist any efforts to transform.
