Canada has educated and developed some of the world’s top minds in AI technology and yet the best we got as the politician spearheading our strategy is a failed, corrupt newscaster. A total indictment on our ability to get talent involved in our political process
Still amazed that the AI Ministry seems to have no mandate to worry about the major issues of jobs being replaced by AI or theft of intellectual property for AI training.
There are two scenarios: 1) we have a workable model, 2) we do not have a workable model.
In both scenarios, we will have labour displacement and environmental issues.
In only one of those scenarios, we have revenue coming in. It’s not an easy scenario to achieve. Our AI companies will have to scale their current models very aggressively and that will require dozens of billions.
I’m very worried about both issues. But having a structural separation between a minister trying to aggressively generate a model, and ministers that need to worry about labour displacement and environmental issues, is crucial.
We are already facing the job displacement and the environmental issues. We need to deal with them ASAP.
But we also need a model and having a minister focus exclusively on that is a good idea. Can he deliver? Does he have the right ambition? I’m starting to hear he does. His initial statements were not encouraging (too focused on building applications and not enough focus on having good models).
Let’s stay on top of it.
He can’t just be a cheerleader for the AI industry. He has to seriously consider crafting a bill to regulate it too.
We need to regulate this industry the same way we regulated the power loom and the horse-drawn plow to ensure humans and horses don’t get replaced in key industries. If we were to replace those jobs, in the textiles and the agricultural industry, that would devastate jobs and lead to unaffordable clothes and food for all the unemployed.
I’ll just leave a link to this free podcast here for anyone still believing the hype…

AI needs to be severely clamped down on and regulated heavily. We should not ve championing at all and actively foght ai data centers being built here.
AInis actively the worst thing to happen in the tech space and we should be fighting it every step of the way. Sure, Pandora’s box had been opened but that does not mean we don’t try to close it and hold onto hope still.
From another article about Solomon’s announcement.
“Solomon expects that part of Canada’s increased defence spending will go towards supporting Canadian AI and quantum computing companies developing dual-use technologies.
He argued to BetaKit that sovereign computing capacity and data, and cybersecurity, quantum, and AI capabilities are “not just an economic imperative, but a national security imperative as well.”
“The idea that our ramp up in defence spending will include, and must include, dual-use of civilian and defence capabilities from our industry, with … Canadian innovation, Canadian companies, is essential,” he said.
Solomon told CDL attendees that Canada’s increased defence spending commitment offers the country a chance to do what the US does—use procurement and its “national security as a form of industrial policy” to drive domestic innovation.”
We need to automate as quickly as possible.
If they’re better than humans at their job, they should replace them.
Meritocracy.
