Artificial Intelligence, cyber security and NORAD modernization in the spotlight


What’s on the agenda for the House and Senate committees today.

Two committees are set to circle back to studies focused on artificial intelligence: SCIENCE AND RESEARCH, where members are booked in for back-to-back presentations from the Canadian Nuclear Association, Electricity Canada and Ontario Power Generation Inc., as well as a panel of academic experts, and ACCESS TO INFORMATION, PRIVACY AND ETHICS, where MPs will hear from AI Governance and Safety Canada, Human Line Project, Control AI US and AI researcher Steven Adler. (3:30 p.m.)

Elsewhere on the committee circuit, Communications Security Establishment chief Caroline Xavier, Shared Services Canada president Scott Jones and Canada’s chief information officer, Dominic Rochon, will be at the table as PUBLIC ACCOUNTS members dig into the latest findings from the auditor general on the “cyber security of government networks and systems,” which was released last fall and warned that there were “significant gaps in cyber security services, monitoring, and response during active attacks.”  (11 a.m.)

Also this morning: TRANSPORT, INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITIES members resume their self-initiated study of the “changing landscape” for truck drivers with back-to-back panel discussions with representatives of the Caledon Community Road Safety Advocacy Group, Justice for Truck Drivers and the Joy Smith Foundation. (11 a.m.)

Rounding out the roster, NATIONAL DEFENCE members will check in on the ongoing modernization of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) with senior military officials. (11 a.m.)
