That's definitely a big question, and I don't think I have a complete answer. I'm not sure that anyone does.
What I would say is that, in a broad sense, I think countries that do well in AI are going to be the ones that are able to develop acceptance for AI adoption and use in societies, and I think that we will have to answer those questions in some format probably sooner rather than later.
We do have a bill before Parliament right now, Bill C-27, that is implementing a legislative framework to develop a regulatory framework around AI. I think there's a lot of scope there, as that comes into force and the regulations are developed, to be quite sensitive to what the future of those kinds of issues looks like.
I will applaud some of CCI's other work here. We released a road map on responsible AI leadership in, I think, early September—time has blurred this fall, as I'm sure it has for many of you—that really gets into some of these issues around public trust.
I think one thing Parliament should strongly consider moving forward is creating a parliamentary science and technology officer who would play an analogous function to what the Parliamentary Budget Officer does and very similar to what the sadly now-defunct Office of Technology Assessment used to do in the U.S. Congress. It would give you as parliamentarians and the public timely, actionable information on emerging technology and science issues that would help inform a lot of these debates and give us all a level ground to understand a lot of these emerging technology issues.
I think that's the kind of social infrastructure, if you will, or parliamentary infrastructure that could play a very helpful function in addressing those kinds of issues and give us, I think, a better basis to do so.
