A new public-private consortium, the Canadian AI Safety and Innovation Consortium (CAISIC), has been launched to advance responsible AI development. Bringing together federal government bodies, leading academic institutions like Mila and the Vector Institute, and major technology firms including Shopify and Cohere, the initiative aims to establish ethical guidelines and safety protocols for artificial intelligence. The consortium will serve as a key advisory body, shaping policy and investment to ensure Canada's competitiveness and build public trust in AI technologies, directly supporting the nation's broader innovation and regulatory goals.
