Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I'd like to tell you how happy I am to be here. Thank you for having me.
I also want to thank the witnesses for coming.
Mr. Tessari L'Allié, there are obviously various interpretations of the imminent dangers of AI. In my opinion, it's very simple: there are pros and cons.
You talked about the labour force and the fact that humans could be replaced. However, an important report on AI was published recently by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology task force headed by David Autor and his colleagues. They seemed to say that, every time there's a major technological revolution, people fear that new technologies are replacing humans. This was the case with the automobile, as well as with the Internet. Typically, adapt takes time. These cycles take 30 to 40 years.
Still, there's a sense of urgency because it seems that, in the very short term, the negatives outweigh the positives. We need only think of conflicts or misinformation.
Is that why the adoption of a regulatory and legislative framework is urgent?
