Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you for this conversation. I'm finding it fascinating.
I want to say a couple of things. It seems to me—and I think we're all going to be discussing these points—that there is a point at which AI is a tool, and then there is a point at which AI becomes the craftsman itself. There is a point at which it becomes the search engine, and then there's a point at which it becomes the journalist, and this is the tension we're talking about.
I thought that Monsieur Généreux's question about whether one can use it and be an artist was super-interesting. I really like the question, because I think we want to be clarifying when it is a tool and when it is the craftsman itself.
I think about the 1980s, when hip hop came around, and people said, “That's not art. They're sampling records.” When we look at it now, of course it was art. It was transformative. Sampling records and those things were big, and they changed the way we made music and listened to music, so I think it's important for us to be thinking about these issues in a way that points to them as tools. We can't just throw up our hands and say, “No, no.” We need to move things forward.
Artists will adapt. They always adapt. That's what they do the best. That's what they did in the 1980s with hip hop, and hip hop changed the whole world.
In the world of regulation, how do we make these fine points between when it is a tool...? Maybe it's through transparency, as you were saying. When is it a tool, and when does it become the craftsman itself?
Sorry I only spoke in one language.
Actually, my questions are primarily for Ms. Desrochers.
