If you create, at the kind of scale we’re talking about, an obligation to license or a right to opt out of training, then you create huge obstacles to the capacity to access the data you need to train AI systems well. You create a system where there are limits in the datasets and where there are some key players that can access the data that’s needed and there are others who cannot. It could become a true obstacle to the development of AI in Canada and beyond.
