Information & Ethics committee  The only thing I could add to my esteemed panellists here is another potentially benign use case. They may contradict me on this, but one of them is using FRT to prevent industrial accidents. If there are operators who are tired or sleepy—this could include long-haul truckers, ot

Information & Ethics committee  This is where we don't really know how to protect Canadians in that way on the commercial side. That's why there has been discussion of data portability, where Canadians would have the right to their own data but also to earn money from it should they consent to it being used tra

Information & Ethics committee  I'd be happy to do so.

Information & Ethics committee  Okay. This would need to be confirmed, but there are stories of it being used in children's toys, children's applications and things like that. That needs to be verified, but I recall seeing that in a UN report. Thanks.

Information & Ethics committee  A moratorium, as you know, is a pause. It's to gather information and insight both from within organizations and from outside organizations and to gather and assess and then determine what kinds of guardrails might be imposed should that moratorium be lifted. If this is a questi

Information & Ethics committee  I would defer to my colleagues who have studied the developments in artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology more closely.

Information & Ethics committee  Just to clarify, I haven't advised companies on their use of FRT. It would be a bit of an accident if they happened to be using it. The projects I've worked on haven't been FRT specific. A project I've worked on recently with the World Congress on Justice for Children on the futu

Information & Ethics committee  Not yet, and that's what I'm hoping you and other legislators will get your fine minds around.

Information & Ethics committee  One would be sanctity of personal data, so protection of certain data, like facial data, that's very intimate to the individual. I think that's part of it, but I think it would also aim to ensure alignment with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and also be potentially a

Information & Ethics committee  I think the horse has left the barn to a great extent, to the extent that you can't draw out of Clearview AI what has been already taken. When starting to think about this, particularly as children age, we aren't the only ones who have been exposed to facial recognition technolog

Information & Ethics committee  I might add that consumer companies, consumer brands and retailers are looking quite closely at the technology and are advancing how they think about sentiment analysis and perceiving how customers are feeling in a branded or transactional environment. Some people might not find

Information & Ethics committee  No, I'm not aware of how the Vancouver Police Department is using FRT.

Information & Ethics committee  I think this could be another Sanjay Khanna who happens to be working in AI and machine learning. It's not me.

Information & Ethics committee  I'll just bring up something I said earlier on drawing on as much research and insight as you possibly can on racialized minorities, first nations, children, or anyone who is more vulnerable to this sort of exploitation, or could be made vulnerable by changing economic circumstan

Information & Ethics committee  I believe this is going to be a test that works its way through the courts. Assuming FRT and machine learning algorithms are used to identify criminals and not just their social media postings and so on, as happened in Ottawa, then tests are going to need to happen against the ch
