Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon says his upcoming privacy bill could include age restrictions for chatbots to protect children.
He says he is also considering including in the legislation the right to delete deepfakes.
Solomon maintains he hasn’t changed his mind about rejecting a wide-ranging regulatory approach to AI.
But he says he is open to taking action on specific urgent and current issues.
Solomon says he is also open to feedback from both Canadians and a group of experts he has asked to work on updating Canada’s AI strategy.
He says 6,500 Canadians have weighed in on the federal government’s consultation.
