Canada’s AI leadership depends on building systems that create more equitable outcomes – and that means ensuring the research behind those systems is accessible to everyone. Making UnBias-Plus free, transparent and open-source is a deliberate expression of Vector’s mission as an independent, not-for-profit institute: research on how bias operates in AI and language affects all of society and the tools that come from it should be too. By opening this work to developers, organizations and the public, we’re ensuring the ability to build fairer AI belongs to everyone.
