At the cutting edge
The rise of accessible generative artificial intelligence (AI) has propelled discussions about both the promise and peril of AI to the forefront of public discourse including what regulations, if any, will be established in the short term. The direction this conversation takes will have significant implications for the future of AI in Canada. Because public perceptions are both rapidly evolving and going to be a factor influencing decisions, now is the time to develop a greater understanding of the public opinion environment in Canada.
- Canada’s first comprehensive study of public opinion of AI.
- A nationally representative online survey of 2,000 people living in Canada, weighted to the census.
