Thanks so much to @CIFAR_News for including me on this excellent panel on AI safety, governance, and Canada's future pathways and policy options.

Great to speak alongside Samir Chhabra (@ISED_CA), @TeresaScassa, and Foutse Khomh (@SWATLab), moderated by Dr. Elissa Strome.

A few takeaways:
➡️ Regulatory sandboxes in Canada could let us build more forward momentum on key AI areas while also helping us determine what sector-specific regulation (if
any) might be appropriate.
➡️ AI literacy and training is one of Canada's top challenges. It will need thoughtful federal and provincial coordination, especially since Ottawa doesn't hold many of the education and training levers.
➡️ The Canadian AI Safety Institute is running a decentralized model alongside our three AI research institutes, Amii, @VectorInst, and @Mila_Quebec, with some experts also working with colleagues at the NRC and the ISED AI secretariat. Curious to see how CAISI might build trust in AI and help bridge AI and technical talent across government.
