Canada’s Ill-Advised ‘National Sprint’ on Artificial Intelligence
Citizen Lab senior fellow Cynthia Khoo speaks with Resh Budhu, host of the Courage My Friends podcast, about the problems with Canada’s ‘national sprint’ on artificial intelligence. She notes, “It’s kind of a slap in the face to everyone who has either been harmed by these kinds of reckless approaches to technology, or who has been studying them and saying all this time, we need to slow down, we need to look at the harms.””
Khoo further states, “We’re going on the same merry-go-round over and over again … assuming any complicated social problem can be solved by technology, when often on the contrary, technology will make it worse.”
