Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to the witnesses.
I must say that your statements have highlighted the risks associated with artificial intelligence. We usually hear about its positive aspects, but you are trying to point out the more problematic aspects.
I would like your answers to my questions to help us determine whether Canada is on the right track regarding oversight of artificial intelligence. We know that we are very advanced in this area, particularly in the Montreal region.
Here is my first question.
Canada has launched the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute, or CAISI, whose mandate is to independently test and evaluate advanced artificial intelligence systems. In your opinion, how important is it for countries to create public and independent institutes such as the CAISI?
