Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses today.
I just want to touch on some of the themes that Mr. Garon and Mr. Perkins touched on earlier.
In question nine of our document that we were all sent from the Library of Parliament, it states that, according to the AIDA companion document, “Canada...will work together with [our] international partners”.
It also notes that the United Kingdom recently released a regulatory proposal for artificial intelligence that is said to be flexible and pro-innovation. Unlike the AIDA, it proposes to create principles for the development and responsible use of artificial intelligence. These principles will be released in a non-statutory form and implemented by existing regulators, who will be encouraged and, if necessary, specifically empowered to regulate AI in accordance with these principles in areas within their regulatory authority.
Mr. Bailey, what do you think of the United Kingdom’s approach?
Some of those principles, I think I should outline, are transparency and expandability, privacy and confidentiality, and the avoidance of harm.
What do you think of that approach as it relates to business development and innovation versus the approach taken by the Government of Canada?
