A new code of conduct is set to govern how AI is developed in Canada. But it’s voluntary, and despite immediate support from big players in the business, there are also concerns it could stifle innovation and the ability to compete with companies based outside of Canada.
The fact that lack of foreign regulation means we shouldn’t regulate domestically, even voluntarily, is honestly so dumb, and I hate this globalized economy we have for these sorts of domestic pressures we face.
Companies that sign onto the code are agreeing to multiple principles, including that their AI systems are transparent about where and how information they collect is used, and that there are methods to address potential bias in a system.
In addition, they agree to human monitoring of AI systems and that developers who create generative AI systems for public use create systems so that anything generated by their system can be detected.
“Stifling innovation”
Yall, this is pretty basic stuff. Don’t cry wolf too soon if you want anyone to believe your feigned concerns later.
voluntary
Then what is even the point?
