That's a very important question.
We have three national institutes.
Vector is in Toronto. Geoffrey Hinton is one of the godfathers of AI. Many Canadians will say, “Oh yes, Dr. Hinton has warned about that.” He has won the Nobel Prize. He's concerned about that.
Yoshua Bengio won the Turing Award. He's in our Mila institute, and he's part of our AI safety ecosystem and our safety institute. I've spoken to them a lot.
I would say that Rich Sutton, who runs AMII, the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, has a slightly different view.
There's not necessarily a lot of consensus, but there are real questions and concerns. I've read about what artificial general intelligence would be, and people ask me a lot about it.
I think our job is not to be cheerleaders or doomsayers but to find a pragmatic way to use this safely. By the way, that is why we have an AI safety institute, and that is why we will have legislation on privacy and data to keep Canadians—
