Depends on what the goal ends up being. If they try to create (and actuallyenforce) some regulations around AI, I could see that being an endeavor that would occupy a full time position.

Carney has spoken a lot about using AI to lower the operating costs of government. I don't think the minister is there strictly to regulate.

Yep, the goal of this ministry will be to replace public servants.

in other words, Canada's version of DOGE?

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Nah DOGE has never been about efficiency, it’s just plain old cutting services by making institutions dysfunctional.

Not that the results of replacing public servants with AI with give wildly different results, but at least it’s going to be ridiculously slow and expensive so it’s easier to rollback
