In December 2021, our research team gathered for a collaborative workshop to theorize AI’s regulatory uptake in Canada, drawing on situational analysis. We selected four topics as probes to shed light on what we designated the “AI stack”: 1) the use of AI in data centres, 2) Canadian AI suppliers and AI powered botnets, 3) AI’s role in online advertising, and 4) the deployment of AI in TikTok’s content recommendation systems.
