It's actually an advantage to have AI that is reliable. In fact, it can be a niche advantage that Canada can offer the world if we do push forward sufficiently in that direction.
On autonomous weapons, it's clearly a tricky situation, because if you're in a war—I'm thinking about Ukraine—and your adversaries are using AI without any restraint and you don't, you might think you're in trouble, but we have no choice. We should not be sacrificing our values and our democracies because of the challenge of war. We should do our best with the constraints we have.
We can deal with the ethical questions about, say, the use of weapons that can be automated, both on the technical front.... For example, I mentioned the work we're doing at LawZero. We want the AI used in those contexts to obey the international laws of war. We also need societal and legal guardrails, but we can work on both fronts.
