Prime Minister Mark Carney to take ‘active role’ in new AI advisory council
Prime Minister Mark Carney will assume a leading role in crafting the agenda for Canada's new AI advisory council. This annual subscription for the council, priced at $205.00 plus GST for a year, will automatically renew at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks, representing a 10% discount off the regular annual price of $259.35. The council, to be announced on Friday, will adopt an "all of government" approach to advise on artificial intelligence.
It will be composed of high-profile figures such as Yoshua Bengio, alongside experts in economics, business, and AI. The government already operates an advisory council at Innovation Canada, which focuses on technical guidance for the minister. Additionally, the Liberal government has established two other AI-related advisory councils: one concerning AI and labour, which convened for the first time on Monday, and another dedicated to AI and culture, launched back in March.
