The federal government has recently released its voluntary Code of Practice the Code relating to advanced generative artificial intelligence AI systems. The code identifies measures that organizations are encouraged to adopt when they are developing generative AI systems.
The Canadian government continues to take note and react to the widespread use of generative artificial intelligence AI. Generative AI is a type of AI that generates output that can include text, images or other materials, and is based on material and information that the user inputs e.g., ChatGPT, Dall-E 2 and Midjourney. In recent development, the Canadian government has: 1 opened up consultation on a proposed Code of Practice the Code and provided a proposed framework for the Code; and 2 published a Guide on the use of Generative AI for federal institutions on September 6th, 2023.
