The AI ministry is a necessity imo. Lemmy often gets caught up in shitting on OpenAI and other AI stuff (which is generally justified imo).
However, the potential of this tech to become a nightmare if not implemented correctly is huge. The worst case (depends how you look at it) scenario of this tech is mass unemployment.
In other words, good or bad, AI has the potential to massively change how the economy works, and thus change how our lives look like. If this does indeed happen, and we are not prepared to handle the worst case scenario, then that would be bad.

I certainly agree that it needs government oversight and attention. A ministry, though...I'm not convinced, and inclined to think the worst when "we'll use AI to fix the government" was a consistent taking point during the campaign.
But it was rightly pointed out that AI is only part of the name. I'd just as soon it not be there, but we'll see what happens.

Former journalist Evan Solomon takes on a newly created role as minister of artificial intelligence.
Ugh.

This isn't inherently an issue. I mean, it's the Liberals, so it probably is, but having a minister whose role is to actually sit down and critically learn about the topic, and report back to cabinet would be great.
It'll probably be a role focused on figuring out which specific confidence game to invest in, but it could be so much better than that.

What do you mean? I'm sure the minister of artificial intelligence will do a fine job, working closely with the minister of cryptocurrency and the minister of cloud experiences to engage transformative leverage in a way that will enhance governance innovation.
