I'm going to switch over to where in your testimony you were talking about deepfakes. The government has now introduced legislation, Bill C-16, that is intended to criminalize the creation and distribution of intimate deepfakes. At the same time, we have experts like Suzie Dunn, assistant professor of law at Dalhousie University, who have warned that the bill's definition of “deepfake” may be too narrow to capture much of the harmful content currently circulating online. That includes platforms like X.
As the committee prepares to undertake a study on artificial intelligence more broadly, what recommendations would you offer to us to ensure that legislation more effectively protects Canadians' privacy and potentially provides meaningful recourse for victims who have already experienced non-consensual AI intimate images?
