Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to the witnesses for being with us today. Their opening remarks were quite compelling and interesting and they truly align with this committee’s study, which is even more relevant at this critical juncture, when we need to protect Canadians and ensure that we do not hinder the growth of the digital economy in Canada. Canada is a pioneer in this field. That is a very important element.
Witnesses have mostly talked about culture and generative artificial intelligence and the creation of music or other forms of artistic or cultural content.
I have the following question with respect to putting in place control mechanisms. Should we have control mechanisms that govern the development of systems when it comes to learning, training systems and large language models, or LLMs, or should we have mechanisms to control use since Canadians are currently using this system?
When we talk about control mechanisms, what are we referring to? Are we talking about control in terms of personal behaviour or within a public organizational framework?
The question is for all of the witnesses.
First, is it feasible to control systems? If so, can you tell us how?
