In August, Solomon announced the government had signed an agreement with Cohere to identify where “AI tools can improve public services.”
Cohere’s reported connection to the U.S. AI firm Palantir increases the alarm. Led by MAGA funder Peter Thiel, Palantir sees the Canadian company’s models being deployed to Palantir customers, possibly including U.S. defence and intelligence agencies.
Um, I’m not ignoring it, it’s simply that the “overall government approach” has been clearly spelled out by the Minister of AI, who has said he will not “over-index on regulation”.
That’s why we haven’t had consultations on any other aspect of AI, only how we can help the industry make money.
As for your question about the grounding of my “belief” about AI - what kind of answer were you expecting, or would you not have acted dismissively toward?
