Canadian Responsible Tech Repository

Problem ContextIn Canada and globally the responsible tech movement is quickly evolving and using multiple mediums to further its goals. Canadian institutions are producing exciting research and non-profit organizations are pursuing new projects constantly. It can be very difficult for any individual to keep up to date with work being done in this space, and this can make it impossible to identify areas for collaboration on responsible tech-related projects. GoodBot has experienced this problem first hand and has received feedback that this problem exists for many members of the Canadian responsible tech ecosystem.SolutionGoodBot hopes to leverage the data and analysis of its existing responsible tech research to create a simple interface for researchers and the community to search and connect multi-disciplinary responsible tech projects. GoodBot will provide brief summaries and categorization for any given data point (project, legislation, research, etc) to facilitate correlation and understanding by generic users. A user will be able to easily search and group Non-profit organizations, Businesses, People, Academic Research, Laws and Policy, Litigation, and Media by characteristics like problem focus, location or objective. This repository will continue to grow as GoodBot produces its annual Responsible Tech Report, and as responsible tech initiatives continue to evolve in the future. Ideally, this dynamic correlation and access will promote contact between concerned actors in Canada as we all work for a better technology future.Similar Projects/Reference PointsRepositories:US AI Regulation Repository - Ravit Dojan Responsible Tech University Ecosystem - All Tech Is HumanThe above repositories display data as a flat table with tags for categories like discipline and legislation type. These repositories serve as an excellent starting point for what we want the Canadian Responsible Tech Repository to look like. Once our repository is populated, we will create a correlation mechanism to connect data points across disciplines as users select specific data points.

It was a pleasant experience for me, and I appreciated the chance to collaborate with you and the other team members, as well as being involved with Goodbot. While reflecting on my time with the project, I realized that having more mentoring opportunities would have allowed me to further utilize my potential and enhance my contributions. Nevertheless, I am content with the contributions I made within the time constraints. Pros: Fullstack development opportunity Nice, warm and talented people to collaborate Learning new technologies Weekly project meeting Cons: Very limited time to mentoring
