Sure. I would be delighted. We think a lot about misinformation and online harm. The government has been considering legislation on online safety for a while and been consulting about it. We're urging that it move forward.
We were surprised, but I think pleasantly surprised, that the AI act now would be a potential vehicle to address some of the harms of content recommendation systems, or “social media”, as most people refer to it. It was in Minister Champagne's list. If the online safety legislation doesn't move forward, or if it really focuses heavily on content like child sexual exploitation and terrorist content more specifically, then I think this could be a vehicle in which we attempt to regulate the recommendation systems and their algorithmic amplification for potential harm. I think it's a good example of the type of thing that will take time to do correctly through the regulatory process, but I think it is a potential way.
Specifically on the generative AI component of it, in the voluntary code that was referenced, there's a proposed requirement for what's called watermarking. It's basically people being able to detect that it's a manipulated image or video or a deepfake. Especially as generative AI improves and our ability to trust anything we're seeing with our eyes breaks down, that type of technical and regulatory response will be very important.
That's just an example of how we can use this bill. I think that is very important.
