\n\tThe Canadian government is preparing new rules on how copyright holders should be compensated when their work is used by AI systems, as it also weighs age restrictions on social media<\/a> and tighter regulation of AI chatbots.<\/p>\n

\n\tEvan Solomon, Canada<\/a>\u2019s Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, was speaking at Web Summit<\/a> Vancouver. He talked up the opportunity around artificial intelligence following a series of splashy announcements including C$66M of funding for over forty AI projects, and a huge new AI data center in British Columbia developed with Telus.<\/p>\n

\n\tSolomon also opened up on the challenge of controlling AI and social media, in terms of protecting the public and also stakeholders from the film, TV and music industries.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re open to the opportunities about social media and AI and we\u2019re candid about the concerns,\u201d Solomon said. \u201cWe are looking very carefully at age restrictions on social media, as Manitoba and Australia have done. We\u2019re looking at AI chat bots. I need not remind anyone about the horrific tragedy of Tumbler Ridge,\u201d he said, referencing a fatal mass-shooting in which the attacker\u2019s account had been flagged by OpenAI for review but was not referred to law enforcement at the time.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur AI Safety Institute is already studying the safety protocols inside OpenAI,\u201d the Minister said. He added: \u201cWe\u2019ll have more legislation on algorithmic transparency for automated decision systems, on right to deletion. We\u2019re looking very closely at that for deep fakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSolomon recently hosted a summit with Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, in Banff, attended by filmmakers as well as people from the music business and union officials. The upshot? New rules on copyright look to be on the way.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are setting up the first AI and culture advisory board, so we have regular input from the culture sector, from writers on copyright issues, and we will be soon coming forward with some recommendations\u2026 we\u2019re coming to ground on the idea of what\u2019s the best way to have compensation on that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Canadian government is preparing new rules on how copyright holders should be compensated when their work is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,101592,289,290,995,18,19,17,1114,82,96534],"class_list":{"0":"post-481888","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intellegence","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-canada","13":"tag-eire","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-social-media","17":"tag-technology","18":"tag-web-summit"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116565053604988590","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
