CEO Arundati Dandapani Presents on AI Ethics at IAPP’s Canada Privacy Symposium 2025

Founder and CEO Arundati Dandapani is presenting at IAPP’s Canada Privacy Symposium on May 12, Monday morning of this highly attended Toronto conference to discuss the impact of AI systems before, during and after immigration in the settlement journey of newcomers. Her abstract is excerpted in the next paragraph, and Dandapani has also invited Aurie M. Escobar Ramsey, Executive Director and Privacy and Cybersecurity Counsel at the Estee Lauder Companies to enrich the discussion on AI-enabled talent acquisition practices and their impact on global immigrants in the hiring cycle and outcomes. This will be a fabulous session, and timely in the context of Generation1.ca’s mission and commitment to advancing and protecting top global talent through our career fairs and case competitions, resources, member connections and similar opportunities.

By 2050, one in six people in high-income countries will be migrants, according to UN reports, as global immigration continues to rise. North America, including Canada, remains a key destination for immigrants despite ongoing geopolitical debates and polarized opinions. For a continent built by immigrants, our growing diversity presents both opportunities and challenges in human rights and digital responsibility. How can we harness the talent and ambition of diverse professionals to lead the global charge for ethical and innovative AI? Canada’s future immigrants are essential to tackling pressing market challenges like low productivity and slow economic growth. This presentation delves into how immigrants can drive a thriving economy while advancing responsible AI governance. By unlocking their potential and nurturing diverse leadership, Canada and North America can solve critical economic issues and position itself as a global leader in AI ethics and data innovation, ensuring that no newcomer is left behind.
