Advancing Safety, Reinforcing Trust
Amii’s Trust & Safety program is advancing the science of AI safety. Grounded in our research excellence and guided by our mission—AI for good and for All—we contribute to the field with research and applied approaches that help ensure AI systems are safe, reliable, and trustworthy in ways that matter to Canadians and to the world.
Built on trust. Real-world impact depends on trust, strengthened by a commitment to safety.
Leading with optimism. We bring a forward-looking perspective to AI safety, grounded in science and solutions that shape our knowledge on how advanced AI systems evolve.
Building on a strong foundation. With strengths in research, literacy, and ecosystem leadership, we connect people and ideas to advance the global conversation on AI safety.
Future-ready talent. We cultivate the next generation of AI researchers and practitioners, advancing the field while ensuring trust in AI remains central to Canada’s future advantage.
Canadian AI Safety Institute
Amii is proud to play a key role in the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (CAISI), partnering with CIFAR, the National Research Council, Mila, and the Vector Institute to advance AI safety research and define global standards safe and secure AI.
Research Areas of Focus
As a hub of reinforcement learning (RL) excellence, our Trust & Safety research program applies this expertise to the critical challenges of trust and safety. By advancing the science of RL and developing approaches that are robust and ready for the real world, we are laying the groundwork for safer AI systems and their responsible adoption.
Grounded and Collaborative
Amii’s Trust & Safety work builds on our deep expertise in research and our proven strengths in literacy, talent development and ecosystem connection. As we expand this work, we are developing pathways to translate research into applied tools, mobilize knowledge into real-world contexts, and engage the interdisciplinary strengths of our networks.
In addition to RL, Amii’s Fellows bring world-class expertise across critical techniques such as explainability, fairness, evaluation, and privacy, as well as in domains like health, philosophy, and governance. Their continued leadership ensures our research not only advances the science of AI but also shapes approaches that clarify the capabilities and interventions needed to make AI safer.
Focused and Ambitious
The roadmap to AI advancement is not linear. With the remarkable progress in AI in recent years, it’s vital to stay intentional about what matters. We believe a narrow focus is essential to deepen our impact. By prioritizing meaningful conversations, remaining agile in an ever-evolving landscape, and advancing the priorities of the Canadian AI Safety Institute, we can ensure our efforts stay aligned with what’s most important.
Why it Matters
At Amii, we advance research that addresses practical challenges and paves the way for the trusted, responsible adoption of AI. Our work acts as the crucial bridge between theory and practice, creating pathways for impact through:
Building trust in systems that operate in complex environments
Advancing the science of AI safety
Empowering organizations to adopt AI with confidence
In examining these challenges today, we accelerate the safe integration of AI systems and ensure innovation delivers lasting benefit for people and society.
