AI is becoming a buzzword among Canadian policymakers, but should there be more focus on regulation than innovation? In a new article, Citizen Lab director Ron Deibert speaks with the Financial Post about the risks of AI.
Generative AI is transformational technology, but lack of oversight poses ethical risks. “It’s astonishing how the industry is able to experiment on human populations with such far-reaching technology and largely unrestrained. We need some kind of wrapping around it to control for the harms and consequences,” says Deibert.
