Au sujet de l’entreprise:
Edgentica is a Canada-based AI regulatory technology company. Our product delivers citation-bound, audit-ready AI for governments and enterprises, enabling faster and more reliable regulatory analysis. We have completed cross-border deployments in Canada and Taiwan, including a live production deployment in Yunlin County. As we scale into new regulatory jurisdictions, we're building academic partnerships to deepen our understanding of international AI governance frameworks.
Veuillez décrire le projet.:
This project examines the evolving regulatory landscape for AI as applied to government agencies and public-sector service delivery, comparing Canada, the United States, the European Union, and Taiwan. The company's goal is to build authoritative, citable research on how AI governance frameworks converge and diverge across these jurisdictions - covering procurement, algorithmic decision-making, and public accountability - and to translate this into practical compliance tools for government and enterprise clients. The intern will review frameworks such as Canada's Directive on Automated Decision-Making and AIDA, the U.S. NIST AI Risk Management Framework and relevant state legislation, the EU AI Act, and Taiwan's AI Basic Act (effective January 2026). This project includes two parallel intern positions: one focused on PII/login-gated regulatory scenarios (e.g., identity verification, access controls, and privacy governance), and one on non-PII/public-facing regulatory scenarios, with outputs combined into a unified compliance framework and engagement with prospective Taiwan-based partners such as Academia Sinica's Institutum Iurisprudentiae and the Science & Technology Law Institute, building on Edgentica's production deployment in Yunlin County.
Expertise ou compétences exigées:
Familiarity with public policy, administrative law, international/comparative law, or AI/technology governance. Working knowledge of, or strong interest in, EU, U.S., and/or Taiwanese regulatory systems is an asset. Strong comparative research, analytical, and technical writing skills. Interest in responsible AI, ethics, or algorithmic accountability. Basic understanding of AI/ML concepts is an asset but not required. Preference will be given to faculty/co-supervisors with existing professional relationships with government agencies or public-sector organizations, as this project aims to validate research findings with real-world implementation partners.
