About this episode

Nidhi Hegde discusses the challenges of AI regulation in Canada and the importance of accountability in AI systems.

Nidhi Hegde joins the podcast to break down how AI policy in Canada is being shaped by people who can't fully explain the systems they're writing rules for, and why the gap between what regulation promises and what it actually prevents is bigger than anyone wants to admit. We also get into what it takes to build AI that's private and fair by design, not by press release, and what it means for anyone who thinks compliance is the same thing as accountability.
