In terms of filling in some details, I imagine you might be talking about the three billion images captured by Clearview AI. In some respects, you could say it's too late in the sense that Clearview AI is already out there, they've already set up shop, they've sold contracts to all these police agencies, and even if they are no longer in Canada, they're still working in other countries. From that perspective, maybe it's too late.
However, it's never too late to act. For example, Clearview AI was operational in Canada at one point, and now they're not, because we found out and the OPC stepped in. There was public outcry. When it comes to technological issues, it's really easy to fall into a trap of technological inevitability or assuming that technology is here to stay. That is really not always the case.
Even when we talk about other types of algorithmic technologies, for example, the Federal Trade Commission in the United States has started issuing as part of their remedies in certain cases the disgorgement of algorithms: not only deleting data that has been illicitly collected, but even deleting the algorithmic models that have been built on top of that illicitly collected data.
