Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The proposed artificial intelligence act does not provide for a pre-market conformity assessment of artificial intelligence systems, but proposed section 15 allows the minister to order an audit. The government’s proposed amendments to the AIDA include a series of tasks to be completed before the general-purpose or high-impact artificial intelligence system can be made commercially available, including an assessment of adverse effects and a test of the effectiveness of measures to mitigate the risk of harm and biased results.
What do you think of those new obligations that the government wants to impose on people who do develop the systems?
I'll start with Ms. Quaid and then I'll go to Mr. Harris and Mr. Gagné.
