Ottawa consults on AI agents – including shopping bots – that mislead or malfunction
The federal government has launched a formal consultation to gauge Canadians’ views on how to deal with the increasing use of AI technology, including asking about labelling AI-generated content, such as music, written reports and videos, with watermarks. The consultation follows the launch by Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, of the federal AI strategy in June. The consultation is seeking views from Canadians, including tech experts, on what action should be taken to make the use of AI transparent and to address mistakes resulting from its use.
