What happened
Mark Carney and Yoshua Bengio called for a global body to oversee AI risks and dedicated funding for AI safety research. On September 23, 2026, Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon stated that Canada is advocating alongside international partners on AI safety issues. Solomon added that Canada is taking a leading role by investing $150 million in Yoshua Bengio’s efforts to build safer AI.
Why it matters
The funding targets LawZero, a non-profit focused on developing models like Scientist AI to act as guardrails for other AI systems. The calls for a technology stability board reflect growing global concern over the risks posed by advanced AI.
