Dr. Samira A. Rahimi will speak at The Ethics of AI in AgeTech on November 2, 2026, at The Westin Ottawa, alongside the 2026 AGE-WELL Annual Conference. The event will bring together experts from academia, industry, policy, and community organizations to discuss responsible AI innovation for older adults and caregivers.
Dr. Rahimi, Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in AI and Advanced Digital Primary Health Care at McGill University, will present on “Equity and Inclusion in AI-Enabled AgeTech: Applying the EDAI Framework Across the AgeTech Lifecycle.” Her session will explore how fairness, representation, accessibility, and equitable distribution of benefits and burdens can be integrated throughout the development and deployment of AI-enabled aging technologies.
The event will examine ethical challenges in AgeTech through the three core principles of the Tri-Council Policy Statement (TCPS 2): Respect for Persons, Concern for Welfare, and Justice.
