Osler’s Technology Group is pleased to announce the release of AI in Canada: a legal guide to developing and using artificial intelligence. This guide is a comprehensive resource for in-house counsel, developers of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, and leaders seeking to integrate AI into their operations. Its forward-looking approach provides insights to help address the potential legal and regulatory challenges that arise from the adoption of generative AI.

In the guide, the Technology Group explores a variety of issues central to the responsible development and use of AI, including AI regulation and standards, copyright, privacy, human rights considerations, tort liability and risk management, antitrust and competition law, and commercial contracting.

“It is essential for organizations to establish a governance plan that evaluates potential challenges,” says Michael Fekete, Osler Technology partner and co-author of AI in Canada: a legal guide to developing and using artificial intelligence. “This will aim to mitigate risk and ensure compliance with emerging Canadian regulatory requirements for the end-to-end management of AI.”

While considering potential issues ensuing from the use of AI systems, the guide recognizes that such barriers vary across different industries and sectors. The expansion of AI use is creating opportunities for learning and growth regardless of industry. As such, AI in Canada offers context-specific guidance for key areas of application, including employment, healthcare, capital markets, legal services and the public sector.

Osler is proud to use its hands-on industry experience to provide this guide as a valuable tool to help clients develop and enhance their AI agendas.
