AUKUS has a particular set of commitments, but I'm not sure Canada needs to join this agreement. Through partnership with the Five Eyes, and through other international commitments and summits, we're already engaging on these issues, particularly through the summits on responsible military AI that happened in the Netherlands and Korea. I'm not sure that joining this initiative is necessary for the further clarification that needs to happen on military applications of artificial intelligence and, indeed, other emerging technologies, such as quantum computing.
This is something that should be considered and debated at the political level. However, I think there are plenty of other opportunities to engage with allies and like-minded states on these issues.
