Mr. Thériault, first, thank you for this motion. I'm currently drafting a bill along the same lines. Of course, the ethical aspect of artificial intelligence, which you mentioned, is one of my areas of focus. I would be delighted to have a hallway discussion with you about artificial intelligence, since I've been teaching it for a number of years.
One thing that worries me most—and I don't think that you touched on this—is the potential for bias in the algorithms behind generative artificial intelligence in particular. You talked about this in your introduction. I would appreciate it if you could send us the document that you quoted, since it's quite relevant.
A second issue is of great concern to the committee. I asked a witness about this matter on Monday. It involves the possibility of using artificial intelligence to process access to information requests. I believe that this may even become necessary, given the amount of information to process. This raises questions about the ethics of using this type of technology for that purpose.
There are a number of aspects to address. However, before inviting witnesses, Mr. Thériault, we should first have a discussion to determine the topic of this study and its scope, in keeping with the role of this committee. We can then choose the aspects, angles or areas to address and the witnesses to invite for each of them. That's my proposal.
