[Counterpoint] Code of Ethics: Navigating Artificial Intelligence's Challenges and Regulation
In this episode, we unpack the ethical and regulatory challenges posed by artificial intelligence, particularly its impact on systemic inequality. Our guests, Professor Ignacio Cofone from Oxford University and Professor Jane Bailey from the University of Ottawa, delve into the ways AI can amplify discrimination, the shortcomings of Canada’s current AI legislation, and the need for more robust accountability frameworks. They also discuss the proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA). Be on the lookout for the McGill Law Journal\'s special issue on artificial intelligence in Volume 69(4)! Note: At the time of recording, Professor Ignacio Cofone was Canada Research Chair in A.I. Law & Data Governance at McGill University. He is now Professor of Law & Regulation of A.I. at Oxford University.
