@catherine_regis @f_mb @CDTSuOttawaCLTS @uocommonlaw @uOttawaResearch Merci, Catherine - and I can say the same about you!

Oh @AirCanada ! Left home yesterday morning for a two hour flight to Halifax. Today I’m sitting in Toronto (further away) still trying to get there. It would have been faster to drive. With an overnight stop. And cheaper.

@helen__hayes @VicCollege_UofT Congratulations, Helen!

Thread 🧵- literally 10 people in Canada will probably care about this but I am one of them.

Finally (FINALLY!) We get to see a full unredacted GBA+ analysis and detailed peer review for an AIA.

It's for the IEC Work Permit Eligiblity Model. Was recently updated on 14 February 2024. I have my reasoning to believe this wasn't posted in error, proactively, and purposely by IRCC (non-AI triage system, positive GBA+, largely positive peer review).

So this - a report about trends, risks, legislation, etc., re: algorithms generally and AI specifically - is actually a really interesting idea. Kinda want to 'borrow' it for Canada.

[Teresa Scassa @TeresaScassa]

Canada’s draft AI legislation provides little detail about what technologies it will govern, or how.

"What types of AI will be excluded from the definition? ... Nobody has said yet." writes @teresascassa.

Canadians’ digital safety calls for strong whistleblower and security researcher protection!

When crafting digital policies, the protection of whistleblowers and public interest researchers has been a major blindspot.
