Governments are somewhat fascinated by means that improve efficiency, and they seem much more inclined to rush to implement applications to achieve greater efficiency. Time will tell whether there are indeed efficiency gains.
From what I understand from your remarks, artificial intelligence is a monster in the making, and it is evident that we cannot allow its development to continue without better regulation. Now, the question is how to regulate it.
In Canada, Bill C‑27, which died on the Order Paper, proposed the creation of the Commissioner of Artificial Intelligence and Data position within Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
The recent Carney government has a Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation. We would like to invite him here soon, but he does not want to meet with us. Last June, he stated that he would place greater emphasis on finding ways to exploit the economic benefits of this technology rather than on regulation.
What do you think of this approach?
