Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported21m ago
Canada is actively collaborating with international partners on artificial intelligence safety and oversight, according to statements made by AI Minister Evan Solomon during the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. As part of this initiative, Prime Minister Mark Carney signed a joint statement alongside 20 other nations calling for stronger regulatory oversight of the technology.
Domestically and internationally, Canada is positioning itself as a leader in the field by investing $150 million into the safety efforts of Canadian AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio. This coordinated international push for stricter governance comes even as the United States reportedly rejects any push to regulate the technology.
