Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. September 25th, 2026

View descriptionShare
 

On this program, we tend to chat a lot about how Artificial Intelligence is changing so much of today’s world. But what about how it’s changing our governments? According to new analysis from the Economist Magazine, 20 percent of the words spoken in the House of Commons by MPs were written with A.I. assistance. This data, by the way, is over the past 12 months alone. This comes as other countries around the world are starting to tighten restrictions on A.I. within levels of government. For example, all 27 E.U. member countries are required to disclose the usage of Artificial Intelligence whenever they utilize it. Joining us to discuss further in Hour 2 is Nathalie Smuha. She is a Professor of Law at the University of Toronto. Meantime, the City of Ottawa has unveiled its surprise musical guest for this weekend’s Ottawa 200 Block Party! Spoiler alert: It’s Ottawa native Jamie Fine. CFRA’s Chris Holski has more on that. Plus, we say ‘see you next time’ to CFRA’s Emma Kelly, who is embracing a new challenge in London! You have 3 seconds to guess if it’s England or Ontario.
