Every nation is drawn to protect its own systems as much as possible. Canada has been working internationally since 2019 through the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, through the OECD, through the G8 and G7, and through other international mechanisms, including, now, the international AI safety institutes. We've been working quite diligently to establish more of a commonality in how we are approaching AI and the regulation or protection of frontier AI around the world, where rogue nations may be developing certain AI systems that are offensive to our own principles.
It's really important to understand that Canada is already embedded in these international committees, and we are playing a key role in establishing what the norms ought to look like and the mechanisms to enforce those norms. We won't be able to do it alone at all. We have to find out who our friends are and where we have commonality in approach and values, and, through that, establish the mechanisms we need in order to defend those values and that approach.
