Foreword
In recent years, advances in artificial intelligence1
(AI), particularly in generative AI,2 have been
impressive. Whether we're talking about large language models
capable of processing and generating human-like text, self-driving
cars, or the facial biometric authentication now used to unlock
most cell phones, AI systems occupy a significant place in every
sphere of human life.
Technological advances unfortunately come with their share of
problems, such as deepfakes, which contribute to misinformation,
and discriminatory bias, which we analyzed in a previous article. The Superior Court of Quebec
recently published a notice to the legal profession and the public,
warning against the potential fabrication of legal authorities
through the use of large language models. To counter the risks
inherent in this emerging technology, several countries have
announced their intention to legislate the design, use,
availability and development of AI systems within
