Impacts of Artificial Intelligence

Hon. Marilou McPhedran

This is a question about AI and young people.
The recent strategy developed by the government also includes reference to research on the addictive nature of many of the applications and the fact that those applications that look specifically to mental health supports are among the most dangerous.
Could I please have a commitment that protecting young people and helping addicted young people as a result of AI use will be a top priority in this government’s AI strategy?
Hon. Pierre Moreau (Government Representative in the Senate)
I cannot comment for the government on the AI strategy, but I will bring your concerns regarding AI to the attention of the minister.
