Canada

I certainly agree that it needs government oversight and attention. A ministry, though...I'm not convinced, and inclined to think the worst when "we'll use AI to fix the government" was a consistent taking point during the campaign.

But it was rightly pointed out that AI is only part of the name. I'd just as soon it not be there, but we'll see what happens.

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.

What do you mean? I'm sure the minister of artificial intelligence will do a fine job, working closely with the minister of cryptocurrency and the minister of cloud experiences to engage transformative leverage in a way that will enhance governance innovation.
