Sure. I think the bill needs lots of amendments and improvements. I think some have been tabled by the minister already, and several are noteworthy improvements from the current version.
Maybe I'll just focus some comments on things I haven't yet raised.
I think the current model is really focused a lot on audits that organizations will potentially do themselves to determine the risks and harms. AI auditing is not yet a codified practice. It's not even really clear what field of expertise should be doing these audits. Is it computer scientists? Is it accountants? Is it lawyers? This is going to take time to develop, and it has to be accompanied by robust standards.
As that happens, the bill as it stands doesn't have a complaint mechanism. It's silent on how the minister will establish grounds to believe an investigation is required. There are no whistle-blower protections for people who bring things forward. There's no ability to do pre-emptive audits. I think my biggest challenge with the act is in its regulatory model, and I do think that those pieces can be fixed.
