Canada Expands AI Code of Conduct Signatories
The Government of Canada announced that ten additional organizations have adopted the voluntary code of conduct for the responsible development and management of generative AI systems. This initiative, led by Minister François-Philippe Champagne, aims to enhance trust in AI technologies within Canada. The government has allocated $2.4 billion to bolster Canada's AI leadership, focusing on infrastructure, business adoption, and creating a Canadian AI Safety Institute, which could influence research directions and funding allocations for AI projects in higher education.
