Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced the Voluntary Code of Conduct on the Responsible Development and Management of Advanced Generative AI Systems on 27 September 2023. Signatories commit to six outcomes, including accountability, safety, fairness and equity, transparency and human oversight. ISED’s list later grew to 46 signatories, among them Cohere, IBM, Mila, TELUS and the Vector Institute.

Why it matters

Canadian developers and deployers of generative AI got a set of federal expectations to sign up to while the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act was still before Parliament.
