    Canada has a minister of artificial intelligence, who does not regulate specific in-vehicle software.

    I’m the minister of wheat, but don’t ask me to regulate banana bread.

      This seems reasonable?

      It is not car specific and is fundamentally no different than having a youtube video running on your car entertainment center’s dashboard. There SHOULD be some fucking regulations regarding what can actually run on those but the end result of that is android/apple auto going away and it all being super proprietary subscription models.

        I think the point is that banana bread is also made from wheat where banana is just an added thing.
        Here the AI is just added to a car. And it’s obviously still AI.

          Then is he also in charge of Youtube? And pornhub? And spotify?

          This is the problem with these nonsense titles but, presumably, he is in charge of caring about “grok ai” in general, but not “grok ai in a tesla”.

          Which lines up with the actual quote

          Canada has a minister of artificial intelligence, who does not regulate specific in-vehicle software. The minister’s said in an emailed statement it wasn’t aware of Tesla’s plan to integrate Grok into vehicles sold in Canada but that it takes complaints seriously.

            If there’s AI in a car, the minister of AI should regulate it, no?

            Why the fuck would the minister of AI give a shit about YouTube, pornhub or Spotify unless they have AI?

              Youtube actually uses AI widely, for instance they use AI to brush up thumbnails of peoples videos without permission.
              But I suppose an AI minister would be very well aware that such things belong under his jurisdiction.
