Vancouver AI Meetup
Vancouver AI Meetup — November 2025
November's Vancouver AI Community Meetup opened with Is'gh'li-ya Anthony Joseph's welcome and song, then turned to a harder question: creative power versus planetary limits.
Amanda Silvera shared how her voice was cloned and abused online, and called for policy, detection tools, and community action to protect creators. A panel discussion framed AI as a double-edged climate tool, pushing for accountability, transparency, and better incentives around its resource costs.
Less hype, more reckoning — a room asking what responsibility looks like when the tools keep getting more powerful and the costs keep getting harder to ignore.
