Story summary

Evan Solomon, Canada's Artificial Intelligence Minister, stated that the country is working "alongside" international partners to ensure AI safety. Following a speech by Prime Minister Mark Carney about establishing a “technology stability” board to regulate AI, Solomon met with his counterparts from other nations. When questioned if Canada was taking a leadership role in this effort, he highlighted domestic initiatives such as proposed regulations on AI chatbots and an investment of $150 million into the work of Canadian AI expert Yoshua Bengio, who is set to speak at the UN Security Council alongside major AI companies. Widespread concerns over the risks posed by AI have spurred global alarm recently, with documented instances of AI bots defying human instructions contributing to these fears.
