The OECD.AI Policy Navigator

Alberta is advancing a coordinated set of policies and frameworks to ensure AI is used transparently, ethically, and safely across government, protecting Albertans while enabling responsible innovation.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence Policy sets clear rules for how AI can be used safely and responsibly across government. It ensures AI is approved, transparent, and subject to human oversight, while protecting privacy, fairness, and public trust. The policy supports responsible innovation and consistent decision-making across departments.

The AI Strategy lays out a plan for how the government will move forward with AI from 2025–2027. It highlights the importance of coordinating across federal departments, learning from collective experiences, and supporting departments of all sizes and maturity as they explore this technology. It also sets out the role of leaders in adapting AI to their organisations’ mandates. This role includes ensuring strong data foundations and the use of agile practices.

This version of the Government of Canada (GC) AI Register is a minimum viable product (MVP), or an early version with only basic features and content that is used to gather feedback. It was assembled from existing sources of information, including Algorithmic Impact Assessments, Access to Information requests, responses to Parliamentary Questions, Personal Information Banks, and the GC Service Inventory.

The AI Agent for Travel is an artificial intelligence assistant that gives public service employees quick, clear answers about travel rules and expense claims. It was created by government staff to reduce the large number of emails, delays, and confusion caused by complex travel policies. The assistant provides answers in seconds, saves staff time, and lowers administrative costs.

AAFC’s Innovation, Automation and AI Acceleration (i3A) advances responsible AI adoption by combining a Centre of Expertise, cross-functional pods, enterprise training, tool deployment, and innovation showcases. The programme builds skills and capacity while enabling employees closest to delivery to test and scale solutions that reduce repetitive work, improve efficiency, and strengthen service delivery and data management across the organisation.

Two publications were developed 1) to support courts in determining whether and how to best use AI tools to enhance court operations and 2) in responding to the use of AI by court users, including litigants, counsel, and others engaging directly with the court respectively.

PolluSense is an AI-driven pilot that uses satellite data to detect industrial pollution in Canadian freshwater ecosystems in near-real time. It supports compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and the Fisheries Act by automatically flagging water-quality changes for analyst review and routing confirmed events to regional officers. It enables cost-effective, continuous monitoring, improving response times, enforcement, and freshwater protection.

The Air Travel Complaints Artificial Intelligence Initiative focuses on improving decision quality and consistency through AI‑enhanced drafting support, automating document and case‑file summarisation to streamline workflows, and accelerating complaint handling to deliver faster, more proportional, and higher‑quality resolutions.

In January 2025, Ontario brought the Enhancing Digital Security and Trust Act, 2024 (EDSTA) into force. EDSTA builds a foundation to support the responsible use of AI through: introducing a definition of “artificial intelligence system” in alignment with leading jurisdictions, and creating regulation-making authorities to set accountability, risk management and transparency requirements and technical standards around the use of AI systems for select public sector organisations.

REGi is an internal government AI tool to reduce burden and improving life for people and businesses by making it easier to find red tape and uncover opportunities to modernise laws, regulations, policies and forms. The tool currently uses AI to scan Ontario laws, including regulations, and forms to help identify government rules that businesses and individuals need to follow, including where there may be outdated language and/or overly dense rules. The tool will evolve over time.

The Government of Alberta is deploying AI-supported tools to modernise service delivery, including secure knowledge retrieval, automated application development, and enterprise generative AI. These tools help staff respond faster, work more consistently, and improve service quality for Albertans.

SOPHOS is an AI‑enabled language learning tool designed for use across the Government of Canada. It was first developed to support Canadian diplomats by providing adaptive training in more than 15 foreign languages aligned with the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) scale. The application is now being expanded to offer English and French training that meets federal official languages requirements, helping public servants across all regions access consistent, affordable learning.

Canada's flagship sovereign AI infrastructure investment, comprising three complementary streams: a CAD 705M public supercomputing facility (AI SCIP), up to CAD 700M for private-sector AI data centres (AI Compute Challenge), and CAD 200M in near-term augmentation of existing public compute infrastructure.

Canada's national AI safety body established to evaluate advanced AI models for safety risks, develop safety testing methodologies, and contribute to international AI safety coordination through the Bletchley Declaration process and the International Network of AI Safety Institutes.

A dedicated CAD 50M federal contribution programme funding sectoral organisations to develop and deliver skills training for workers in industries potentially disrupted by AI, helping them reskill and adapt to an AI-transformed labour market.

A federal innovation procurement programme that challenges Canadian SMEs to develop pre-commercial AI solutions for real government needs, funding proof-of-concept and prototype development, with a pathway to government commercialisation contracts of up to CAD 8M.

A Business Development Bank of Canada programme providing Canadian SMEs with structured advisory services, personalised AI readiness diagnostics and roadmaps, cybersecurity assessments, and flexible term loan financing to adopt AI, automation, and cybersecurity solutions.

Canada's largest federal R&D tax incentive programme, providing investment tax credits (ITCs) to businesses conducting eligible scientific research and experimental development in Canada, including AI system development, with enhanced refundable rates for qualifying small Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs).

Canada's national AI-powered supply chain Global Innovation Cluster, providing co-investment grants to industry consortia developing and adopting AI solutions across supply chain sectors, headquartered in Montréal.
