I think it's possible to adopt a number of approaches to an AI framework. However, a consensus is emerging—in Quebec at least—that artificial intelligence must be regulated and that, as we have seen so far, self‑regulation has its limits. Quebec's position, or the position of the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec—I can speak more to the commission's position—is that we must at least have framework legislation with principles.
In Quebec, we had considered developing an approach to the issue of artificial intelligence. A few years ago, in Quebec, we adopted the Montreal declaration, which is a declaration of principles on the responsible use and development of artificial intelligence, but it is on a voluntary basis. We saw that this had its limits, and the expert panel on which I was a member recognized that, from now on, more stringent frameworks and obligations are needed to ensure the responsible and prudent development of artificial intelligence.
