Christopher Lozinski was born in 2004 in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. He currently attends the University of Guelph for Computer Science and Philosophy.

Artificial Intelligence
Lozinski has stated in a recent article that the current intersection artificial intelligence and labour, at it's current rate, will lead to the commodification of human labour and further worker alienation. In response, Lozinski argues that:"'If we as a society want to be able to combat the negative repercussions of artificial intelligence, we must look at the intrinsic value of labour and its profound effects on human motivation, happiness and fulfilment, rather than viewing it solely as a means of survival. To implement this mindset more broadly in our culture, we need to introduce and reinforce laws that protect workers from the adverse effects of automation, such as increased worker alienation and labour commodification. Policies that compensate workers with the full value of their labour, enshrine unionization and worker rights are able to protect workers from predatory business practices and from being displaced by AI. Once we have enshrined labour protections within our society and economy, we should begin to use the development and implementation of AI technologies that augment rather than replace human labour. The goal of these regulations should never be to stifle innovation but to instead prevent exploitation. This involves investing in education and training programs that equip workers with the skills to work alongside AI, fostering a collaborative rather than competitive relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.'"

Gender Identities in Schools
In response to the recent legislative efforts by certain Canadian provinces, such as Alberta and New Brunswick, to mandate teachers to disclose to parents if their child wishes to change the gender of their pronouns or how they are referred to my classmates and in school, Lozinski wrote a dialectical essay arguing they are not justifiable. He states that such "a one-size-fits-all legal mandate on parental involvement in discussions of their children's gender identity fails to account for the complex and unpredictable realities of family dynamics and actively endangers the well-being of the child in abusive households."
