The Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry has announced key initiatives to support safe and ethical AI adoption, including: (1) a refreshed Advisory Council on Artificial Intelligence; (2) a new Safe and Secure Artificial Intelligence Advisory Group, chaired by Yoshua Bengio; and (3) the publication of a guide for managers of AI systems to help organisations implement Canada’s Voluntary Code of Conduct on AI. On (3), the new guide is a practical resource for companies looking to integrate responsible AI principles into their operations, providing concrete steps to align with best practices in governance, transparency, and risk management. The Minister also announced that six new organizations—CIBC, Clir, Cofomo Inc., Intel Corporation, Jolera Inc. and PaymentEvolution—are signing on to the voluntary AI code of conduct (which already has 40 signatories). By signing on, these organizations are pledging to apply the code to their operations when developing and managing generative AI systems.
