New Brunswick Deputy Minister Ryan Donaghy joins us to pull back the curtain on Canada’s first province-wide AI initiative. From creating strict guardrails around data centers and cognitive offload to building a ground-up AI literacy framework, Ryan shares why true innovation isn't about moving fast and breaking things; it's about relationships, smart policy, and empowering educators to start small today. You can read a summary article of the conversation here . Ryan Donaghy is a senior executive and systems thinker who has spent more than two decades navigating reform across New Brunswick's public sector serving as Deputy Minister in Environment, Local Government, and now Education . Under his leadership, New Brunswick became Canada's first province to embrace a system-wide, human-centered approach to AI integration. Beyond his work redesigning complex public systems, Ryan is a proud Moncton native, UNB alumnus, dad, ringette coach, and hockey referee—a combination that arguably provides the ultimate training in managing competing priorities.
