When it comes to machine learning, is privacy possible?

We're seeing the advance of AI everywhere we look--from ordinary applications like our voice-operated virtual assistants, to extraordinary innovations that are changing how we optimize operations, predict behaviour, and even diagnose disease. This presents an unprecedented opportunity for Canada to become a global leader in technology. Canada already produces some of the most sought-after AI talent in the world and has committed upwards of $1 billion in investment. However, along with opportunity, AI comes with many risks. Among the major concerns is how AI technologies will require new ways of thinking about privacy and policy.
