Ugh.
This isn't inherently an issue. I mean, it's the Liberals, so it probably is, but having a minister whose role is to actually sit down and critically learn about the topic, and report back to cabinet would be great.
It'll probably be a role focused on figuring out which specific confidence game to invest in, but it could be so much better than that.
I don't know if there's any scenario where I think it's worthy of its own ministry.
Depends on what the goal ends up being. If they try to create (and actuallyenforce) some regulations around AI, I could see that being an endeavor that would occupy a full time position.
Carney has spoken a lot about using AI to lower the operating costs of government. I don't think the minister is there strictly to regulate.
Yep, the goal of this ministry will be to replace public servants.
in other words, Canada's version of DOGE?
Nah DOGE has never been about efficiency, it’s just plain old cutting services by making institutions dysfunctional.
Not that the results of replacing public servants with AI with give wildly different results, but at least it’s going to be ridiculously slow and expensive so it’s easier to rollback
Yeah, it should be the Ministry of Innovation and Emerging Technology or something. A whole ministry just for AI feels like a misstep via an unnecessarily narrow focus.
Well to be fair it's:
It's still embarrassing to throw AI in there.
Really what we need is a Minister of (dis)Information to stop foreign tech companies from fucking us over so much.
