QT Connect Meetup Toronto - Q3 2026

## Governance & Accountability — Who Is Responsible When AI Goes Wrong Technology is moving quickly, and many people are still trying to understand how AI is already shaping work, opportunity, creativity, well-being, and everyday life. In Toronto—where platform technology, gaming, creative industries, startups, and digital work are deeply connected to everyday life—questions around fairness, visibility, accountability, and trust are becoming increasingly personal. This QT Connect meetup creates space for community conversation, reflection, and collective sense-making. As part of QueerTech’s 2026 national theme, *Who Gets to Trust AI?*, this community conversation explores where bias, exclusion, and harm enter AI systems—and what protections communities need before those harms scale further. **Date:** Wednesday, September 9, 2026 **Time:** 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM **Location:** Wealthsimple - 80 Spadina Ave., 4th Floor, Toronto, ON **[Register here](https://queertech.org/en/events/271451)**.
