As noted in many of the previous discussions that this committee has held, artificial intelligence is a general-purpose technology that is crosscutting in nature. Within a government public service context, there are AI investments made across the Government of Canada in the realm of agriculture, in the realm of transport and in the realm of health. Obviously, within the realm of instruments that the Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation controls, he is ultimately accountable. Within the instruments that are controlled by the Minister of Industry, she is ultimately accountable.
Of note, there are very many investments in artificial intelligence, given its crosscutting nature and the general purpose of the technology.
