The federal government on Wednesday unfurled a voluntary code of conduct for generative AI, as anxiety persists over its proliferation and pace of development.
The self-imposed guardrails will “build safety and trust as the technology spreads,” Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne told a crowd of techies at the All In artificial intelligencein Montreal, where Canadian technology companies including OpenText and Cohere pledged to sign on.
The government said the measures range from screening datasets for potential biases to assessing for “potential adverse impacts.” They also align with six key principles that include equity, transparency and human oversight.“The mission we should give ourselves is to move from fear to opportunities.”
Artificial intelligence pioneer Yoshua Bengio, who has stated the legislation puts Canada on the right path even as progress remains too slow, said public anxiety still hangs over the sector and that more investment toward safety and standards is essential. “For each dollar that we invest in making AI more capable, we should also invest one dollar in making it safer and protect the public. And right now that's not at all what's going on. We're at a ratio of 50 to one,” he said, citing fellow AI guru and Turing Award winner Geoffrey Hinton.
