Canadian courts and law societies, alike, are faced with an ever-evolving challenge: straddling the line between recognizing the potential benefits of emergent generative artificial intelligence GenAI, while balancing the associated risks of using this technology. Principle to these associated risks is the ability of GenAI to hallucinate i.e., generate incorrect information.
The Canadian government continues to take note and react to the widespread use of generative artificial intelligence AI. Generative AI is a type of AI that generates output that can include text, images or other materials, and is based on material and information that the user inputs e.g., ChatGPT, Dall-E 2 and Midjourney. In recent development, the Canadian government has: 1 opened up consultation on a proposed Code of Practice the Code and provided a proposed framework for the Code; and 2 published a Guide on the use of Generative AI for federal institutions on September 6th, 2023.
A recent report jointly published by the International Energy Agency and the European Patent Office earlier this year, highlights the growing number of patent filings in the hydrogen sector.
