OTTAWA – In a joint statement, G7 countries said Tuesday they will work together to expand the use of artificial intelligence in the public sector.
The idea is to improve the quality of government services and increase government efficiency.
The statement was issued on Tuesday, with the Global Summit closing with Alta's Kananaskiss.
Canada said it will use the G7 president to host a series of “rapid solutions labs” that are considering barriers to AI adoption in the public sector.
G7 members have also agreed to develop a catalog of “roadmap” and “open source and shareable AI solutions for members” to make AI projects successful.
The G7 countries have pledged to help small and medium-sized businesses adopt artificial intelligence.
The statement said G7 countries will work to address the massive energy consumption of AI and increase access to AI in developing countries.
“We recognize that increasing adoption of AI will put pressure on the energy grid, create negative externalities, and affect energy safety, resilience and affordability,” the G7 statement said.
Member States also said they “hear the concerns of partners in emerging markets and developing countries about the challenges they face in building resilient AI ecosystems, including the risks of disruption and elimination from today's technological revolution.”
Seven countries have also issued a “common vision” of emerging quantum technology, pledging to promote “public and private investment in quantum science and technology.”
