The Government of Quebec has mandated the Conseil de l'innovation du Québec to conduct collective reflection and advise it on how to regulate artificial intelligence. Among the questions is whether it should be regulated and, if so, how it should be done.
As I mentioned, the Conseil de l'innovation du Québec has put together expert groups on six topics. There have been workshops to draw conclusions on each of them. One of them, which the commission was involved in, was the AI governance framework. Then there was a call for public contributions. The public as a whole could submit their comments.
There was a public forum recently, on November 2, I believe. The objective was to test the preliminary findings and recommendations of each of the expert groups and to receive feedback in order to improve them. By the end of the year, a report prepared by the Conseil de l'innovation du Québec must be submitted to the Government of Quebec on the framework for artificial intelligence.
