Why this matters
Technology is moving fast and not everyone has a say in where it’s going.
Artificial intelligence, automation, and powerful digital platforms are changing how we work, communicate, and live. But the communities most affected often have the least influence.
At Shift the Odds, we’re working to make sure the future of tech is shaped by public interest, not just profit or politics. We focus on what matters to Canadians: job security, online privacy, and control over our digital lives.
How you can help
No matter your background, you can play a role in creating a fairer, more independent digital future. Here’s how:
Share your experience
Take a short survy to help us understand how AI and automation are showing up in people’s daily lives. Your answers help inform public education and future policy.
Support a learner
Become a mentor to someone building digital skills. If you work in data, tech, AI, or design, we’ll connect you with someone who’s learning and could use your guidance. A few check-ins. Real impact.
Volunteer with us
Lend your time to make this work possible.
From outreach to research support to translation, we rely on volunteers to help us reach more people and create public tools that reflect Canada’s diversity. Whether you have five hours or fifty, your time moves the mission forward.
