A discussion with host Stephen Armstrong and guest Peter Devita on the new e-petition (E-5117) asking the Prime Minister to call an emergency 1st Ministers’ Conference to deal with dangers to Canadians from Cyber System Security Attacks and the inappropriate use of AI. The petition calling on our political leaders to put their heads together and address severe issues of Cyber-attacks. There is no stopping technology advancement and application in everyday life. Formal Technology management in necessary to safeguard the future. Nations that do not advance or manage technology have no future.  How do we do this?  The engineering and applied science professions have the know how that parliamentarians need to partner with. This thinking is missing both from our politicians and from the profession itself.   Peter DeVita Bio Peter is a licensed P.Eng and is past president of the Professional Engineers Ontario in 2001.
