Depends, is putting infrastructure into AI gonna benefit the art dealers he’s friends with via new generative art pieces?
I seriously cant understand how anyone wants him as an mp, let alone a ministerial position. Get someone with a tech/engineering background in the role not a journalist.
Can we move past the idea that government can successfully intervene in private sector goals. I say this as a completely non-partisan objection. Paraphrasing Javier Milei, everything the state does, it does badly.
I’d like to see a neutral accounting of how successful any government has been in encouraging innovation of any kind, starting with how would you even measure that, and how you would distinguish the effect of the government from what would have happened anyway. Regardless of AI, innovation measures by the government seem to be a boondoggle in general.
This is a ministerial portfolio that requires in-depth knowledge and a lot of relationship building.
They are going to fail if they don’t keep Solomon in the job for quite a few years; building an innovative culture and ecosystem takes time.
It will fail if they shuffle him around like they usually shuffle Ministers every few months.
I’m genuinely optimistic about the opportunities in quantum computing, but Solomon comes off as a complete dilettante on the subject of AI and his boosterism is gonna get Canadian children killed. Cohere is a solid product company built on a rickety house of cards. I’ll be shocked if they still exist as a Canadian firm in 10 years.
