Canada’s AI Minister, Evan Solomon, has emphasized that the country’s forthcoming AI regulation will be ‘airtight’ in addressing issues of bias, racism, and hate. Speaking at a Queertech breakfast, Solomon highlighted that while the regulation will be light where innovation is needed, it will be strict to prevent harm. He noted that inclusivity is Canada’s competitive advantage, aiming for diverse perspectives to foster trusted and positive technology.
