BREAKING: Canadian Tech Events Overflow with AI News!
In a whirlwind of activity, Canadian tech events this September showcased a flurry of exciting AI-related developments. From the Saskatchewan Startup Summit to Elevate and All-In, the tech world was abuzz with groundbreaking announcements.
One of the major highlights was the announcement of Canada’s Voluntary Code of Conduct on the Responsible Development and Management of Advanced Generative AI Systems. This code, signed by Cohere, Coveo, and Ada, aims to ensure responsible AI development and usage. However, not everyone is onboard with regulation.
Shopify CEO, Tobi Lütke, took to Twitter to express his disdain for more referees in Canada. He believes that Canada should focus on being a hub for builders rather than relying on regulations from other countries. This statement sparked a debate in the tech community about the need for referees in the game.
Among the other notable news items discussed at these events were:
– Authors, including George R.R. Martin, suing OpenAI for copyright infringement
– A quiz by The Globe to test your ability in spotting AI-generated fakes
– The use of 5G and AI to combat forest fires in British Columbia

– Elon Musk implying that users of X (formerly Twitter) might soon be charged a monthly fee
– Developer responses to Unity’s new pricing scheme
– Oneka raising $12.5 million CAD for desalination devices along the Pacific coast
