Thank you.
The code of conduct for businesses and organizations that use generative artificial intelligence is a voluntary initiative designed to assure Canadians that they're doing so responsibly and ethically. Over 50 organizations and businesses have signed on to the code of conduct to date. That includes not only large businesses, but also small or medium-sized businesses, as well as the industry organizations that helped develop the code.
The purpose of the code is for companies to develop simpler and more responsible artificial intelligence systems to preserve Canadians' trust. I think there's an opportunity to increase the number of organizations and businesses that sign on. This initiative makes a significant contribution to the development of standards for companies that use artificial intelligence and helps reassure Canadians about how they're doing so.
