The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that political messaging is likely to hit a new low in 2024 due to the rise of generative artificial intelligence technologies. The Globe's Kelly Cryderman writes that recently, AI technology has been employed to imitate Joe Biden's voice, with the aim of discouraging voter turnout during primary elections. It is hard to overstate how crucial it is that Canada build some kind of coherent framework. Catherine Regis, a leading voice on AI, says, "Canada is not a big power like China, the U.S. and the EU, of course, but it could -- and should -- be a contributive player to ensure responsible AI at a global scale." The Standing Committee on Industry and Technology is examining Canada's first-ever legislation on artificial intelligence. Creating a law on AI appears an almost impossible task. At the committee stage, a key question MPs and witnesses have debated is whether it is best to try to iron out all the flaws of its AI legislation, Bill C-27, or pass something quickly with flexibility that can be changed as technology evolves. Meta, Google and Amazon have expressed concern that Bill C-27 could be too restrictive, and say the country risks falling behind others.
