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.
