You're not a tech bro.

The government's job is not to be a tech bro.

And the truth is, the government is intervening in a file that is...

Still in the germ stage of its maturity in terms of what its impact is going to be, the massive capital expenditures in the United States and how it's having the K-shaped warped economy on the markets, the job destruction that's happening and the re-rationalization of things, we don't know where that's going to go and what it's going to look like.

the adoption of the technology and what that looks like and how that's going to take shape what this means for information democracy and and all that we don't know what that's going to look like so i i imagine a scenario where a year from now the narrative around ai is really dark like it could be really good really hopeful really really bad really dark and it could be like this until we get to a stasis point of absorbing this technology and what it is and what it means

And I think if the government comes in as being too triumphal when the dark side of this stuff starts there, then the government risks being the champions of a technology that destroyed a lot of jobs, the champions of a technology and approach that was environmentally unsustainable and was negligent with people's privacy.

And so I would have more of a...

cautious approach to the technology and letting Canadians know that we're aware of what this is, what its disruptions are.

Here's what we're planning on doing.

We're keeping an eye on this.

We're partnering with industry.

We're considering regulation.

We want to have adoption of the technology.

We're mindful of privacy.

And I think if they were wise, they would ease back on the throttle of their enthusiasm about the technology because the public is not there right now.

And also, I think that there's there's been multiple cycles of shattered trust with the public with trust us.

The Internet's going to be good.

Really kind of destroyed my small business.

Trust social media is going to be great.

It's going to be fantastic.
