Responding to the policy impact of Artifical Intelligence

This motion directs Federal Council, as the governing body of the Green Party of Canada (Article 6.1.2), to ensure that all Cabinet portfolios maintain a position on Artificial Intelligence-related policy for their portfolio, that is consistent with member-approved policy.

Type of Proposal

A directive to ask the party’s Federal Council to consider an action

Objective / Benefit

The Green Party of Canada will benefit from leading other political parties on Artificial Intelligence-related policy, understanding its impact across all policy areas. The 2022 Green Talks series recommended that every critic should understand the impact of Artificial Intelligence to their portfolio. This directive aims to codify that recommendation into Federal Council and Shadow Cabinet priorities. This directive takes no position on what the policy should be, only that it is strategically important for the Party to have a clear, nuanced position on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on all Federal policy as soon as possible.
