When the Collision tech conference got underway in Toronto on Tuesday, there were two words that dominated discussions across the Enercare Centre: artificial intelligence.
From the speakers that took to the annual event's stages to the swath of startups seeking investments and exposure, seemingly everyone had something to say about the technology that is poised to upend industries and transform everyday tasks.
“We have a ton of urgency around generative AI and believe me, we're putting a ton of resources into all elements of generative AI but no code red because we think we understand where customers are asking us to go and we're just taking a little bit of a different approach.
“I would be extremely disappointed....if we regulate it before we really have the time to see that impact.” He also made a comparison to cryptography, which some said would give people cover for bad behaviour, but has also helped advance security. Collision has scheduled the so-called godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton, who recently left Google to speak more freely about AI, to speak on Wednesday.
He cautioned that some of the realities around AI would be tough for the sector to acknowledge. For example, he sees China as having “outinnovated” the West on AI.
