Open Roboethics Institute

What is ORI
Open Roboethics Institute (ORI) is a Canadian nonprofit that gathers communities of interdisciplinary thinkers and doers to engage with pressing social and ethical implications of robotics and AI technologies. Our goal is to collaborate with partner organizations and build learning communities based on principles of openness, inclusivity, and participation. Then, we develop tools and resources to help members examine robotics and AI systems, understand their implications, and anticipate their various harms and mitigation strategies for their communities. Towards this goal, ORI is a community builder and resource creator.
