I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 21 of the Standing Committee on Science and Research. The committee is meeting to study artificial intelligence.
Welcome back, everyone. I hope everyone had a good break.
Before we start, I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of all witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mic, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. For those on Zoom, at the bottom of your screen you can select the appropriate channel for interpretation: floor, English or French.
I will remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
With that, I would like to welcome our witnesses for the first panel. We have Dr. Pina D'Agostino, professor, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University; Dr. Arvind Gupta, professor, department of computer science, University of Toronto; and Dr. Gail Murphy, vice-president, research and innovation, University of British Columbia. Welcome.
All the witnesses will have five minutes for their opening remarks, and then we will go into rounds of questioning by members.
We will start with Dr. D'Agostino.
You have five minutes. The floor is yours.
