Industry committee  Yes, what I read earlier was “sufficiently detailed summary”.

Industry committee  You're probably referring to products that are purely generated by AI. In the brief we recently submitted to the departments of Industry and Canadian Heritage concerning the interaction between copyright and generative AI, we object to the idea of granting copyright to products that would be purely generated by AI.

Industry committee  Yes.

Industry committee  I'm sorry. I missed the end of the question.

Industry committee  Yes, of course. At the speed things are going, it is probably ideal to review it regularly.

Industry committee  On the first two points, I'll let my colleagues who more represent interpreters respond. With regard to keeping records and making them publicly available, keeping records is not enough. What do we do with these records if they are not public? We don't know that. Yes, that's an improvement, but it must be improved again.

Industry committee  Well, I'm not dealing with this amount of data. They do, so I guess there's a way of doing it.

Industry committee  Thank you. I totally understand. I will switch to French again. In my remarks, I referred to an excerpt from the European Union's draft AI legislation, which isn't yet finalized. It provides for an obligation to make available to the public a sufficiently detailed summary of the way copyright legislation handles protected training data.

Industry committee  Innovation and protection for rights holders go hand in hand. I'd even say it would be to the advantage of innovative businesses to work in an environment that has clearly marked guideposts and where it's easy to remunerate rights holders and secure consent. That actually works to everyone's advantage.

Industry committee  Yes, it is a big question. Speaking as the representative of the Canadian coalition, I think we're here because we're working hard to protect and promote cultural specificity across Canada, for both the Quebec francophonie and the minority language communities. The Canadian and Quebec francophonies are definitely at risk.

Industry committee  I think that cultural diversity, which we call the diversity of cultural expressions, should be taken into consideration. I could give you an expanded answer to that question, but we should definitely reflect on indicators and ways of measuring the impact of the development of those systems on the diversity of our cultural expressions.

Industry committee  That's a good question. First, even if all our works were processed by machines, they would still constitute a minority in all the information they process. Consequently, I don't think that would be enough to protect the diversity of our cultural expressions or to adequately reflect our culture in those models.

Industry committee  No.

Industry committee  No, you're correct.

Industry committee  As far as I know, that's not the case either.
