Thank you for the question.
We started with guidelines first to ensure the safe and responsible use of AI and to ensure that our people, including members and their staff, have the right information to be able to use these tools responsibly. That's been the premise of our human-centred focus for AI adoption here at the House of Commons. It's one of the pillars of the strategy, which we'll be sharing with the committee. Those guidelines were the first layer of defence we had to make sure those understandings were clear.
When it comes to guardrails, we look at those more from a technical controls perspective to see how we can further protect the environment for how AI is being used. Those start as the foundational pillars that we've had in our IT environment since the dawn of using IT for many different use cases pre-AI. Those include information security protections and visibility on all of our information so that we can have assurances that we can protect that information.
That's how we've started with the guardrails. It's simply from an administrative controls perspective to make sure we can have the right safeguards for members and their use of AI.
