Big Tech companies say Liberal’s Bill C-27 doesn’t differentiate enough between high- and low-risk AI systems

Representatives from Big Tech companies say a Liberal government bill that would begin regulating some artificial intelligence systems is too vague.

“Laws and regulations must clearly differentiate between high-risk applications and those that pose little or no risk. This is a core principle we have to get right,” Foster said. An AI system used to approve a person’s mortgage and handle sensitive details about their finances would be considered the same as one that is used to optimize package delivery routes using public data.

Amanda Craig, senior director of public policy at Microsoft’s office of responsible AI, said not differentiating between the two would “spread thinly the time, money, talent and resources of Canadian businesses – and potentially mean finite resources are not sufficiently focused on the highest risk.”But generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, which can create text, images and videos, became widely available to the public only after the bill was first introduced.
