Thank you so much, Chair.
Thank you so much to each of our panellists for being here and for presenting today.
My first question is going to be directed to Mr. Griffiths from The Hub. There was an article that was published by The Hub entitled “AI offers Canada an open opportunity”. In that article, it states:
Overregulation won’t stop risky actors—it will just sideline responsible innovators and transfer the risk to other countries with an entirely different set of values. A confident, cooperative model rooted in Western values and open participation offers a better path to both prosperity and safety.
Mr. Griffiths, you have outlined a few of the opportunities but also some of the hesitation or maybe challenges in terms of AI and how it functions within the online sphere, but this states that over-regulation is not the answer, despite some of these challenges that we face. Can you expand on that a little more?
