That's fair. Thank you.
The Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, AIDA, seeks to establish a framework by which we will further regulate, at the federal level, artificial intelligence.
I noticed that, in your recommendations to the Province of B.C., you said there should be public guiding principles of AI in British Columbia.
I believe it states:
[AI regulation or] principles should apply to all existing and new programs or activities, be included in any tendering documents by public authorities for third-party contracts or AI systems delivered by service providers, and be used to assess legacy projects so they are brought into compliance within a reasonable timeframe.
What I am reading there suggests the Province of British Columbia has adopted a model similar to that of the United States, where they received a public order that all government departments automatically begin ensuring they are ready to handle the challenges posed by artificial intelligence.
Is that a correct assessment?
