There are three points I want to highlight.
First, the government is engaging multilaterally, namely with the creation of the International Network of AI Safety Institutes, which brings together Australia, the U.S., France, Germany and South Korea, among others. Canada is leading one of the pillars of that initiative, with its research on the risks associated with synthetic content.
Second, Canada is engaging bilaterally. Canada signed a new agreement with Germany with respect to digital affairs. Co-operation on AI safety research is an element of the agreement.
Lastly, the government is supporting the work of external experts in the field. That includes support for LawZero and our research community, to step up those efforts domestically and globally.
