Human or AI bot? Ottawa consulting on transparency of AI systems

OTTAWA — Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon says the government wants input from Canadians about the transparency of artificial intelligence systems.

Solomon says in an online post he wants public feedback on questions about identifying AI content and online interactions with AI systems.

He says the government wants to hear from Canadians what meaningful and practical AI transparency might look like.

The government launched the consultation last week and it wraps up on Sept. 23.

The consultation is also looking at ways to improve public access to information about AI systems, including their capabilities and limitations.

The government is also looking at enabling tracking of serious AI-related incidents and ways to better identify the activity of AI agents.
