A federal discussion paper on AI transparency cites the case of a Toronto man who received an erroneous $27,163 vehicle buyback offer from a dealership's AI chatbot, Quinn, which did not identify itself as non-human. The paper asks who should bear liability when an AI agent misleads a user. Public consultation runs until September 23.
