Today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, concluded a three-day visit to Italy, where he joined his G7 counterparts to discuss innovation and the governance and responsible use of emerging technologies.

Artificial intelligence (AI) was prominent in the discussions, with a particular focus on its safe, secure and responsible development, deployment and use.

The G7 ministers agreed to support the adoption of AI by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to help make their business processes more effective and efficient.
