Obvia identifies the societal challenges of artificial intelligence and digital technologies and contributes to solutions that place living beings and the biosphere at the center of their development and use.
Its research community generates open knowledge that strengthens individual and collective capacities in collaboration with civil society, public actors, industry, and developers. Obvia was established in 2019 at the initiative of the Fonds de recherche du Québec to encourage cross-sectoral research on the societal impacts of AI and digital technologies, to support the Quebec ecosystem in the development of AI, and to showcase Quebec research internationally.
Led by Université Laval, we bring together 19 post-secondary institutions in Quebec. Obvia's mandate was renewed by the Fonds de recherche du Québec in 2023 for a five-year period.
