Summary
The Government of Canada has renewed Ontario Tech University researcher Peter Lewis’s Canada Research Chair appointment in trustworthy artificial intelligence for five years, with $500,000 in funding. For his 2026–2031 term, Lewis plans to study how people can make informed decisions about trusting AI, how AI systems can assess their own limits, and how they can respond to social contexts. In his first term, he founded the university’s Trustworthy AI Lab and secured about $2.5 million in research funding.
