The Carney government is charging ahead with AI development in an
effort to supercharge the Canadian economy and make Canada a
global powerhouse — but experts warn that if handled poorly, the
technology could be disastrous. Host Catherine Cullen takes a
deep dive this week on The House and visits an inventor in
Montreal leveraging AI to make a big leap in health care. The CEO
of Canada’s largest AI research institute shares her perspective
on needing more guardrails to protect Canadians, and experts
explore the potential impacts of AI on the environment and job
market. Plus, Catherine sits down with Canada’s first-ever AI
minister to learn how the federal government plans to straddle
the line between innovation and safety.
