Joint Input to Canada’s AI Strategy

Building on our Joint submission to the Canadian Children’s Privacy Code, 5Rights led a coordinated response of 21 leading civil society organisations and individual experts calling for a national approach to AI governance that embeds children’s safety, privacy, and rights from the outset.

To build systems worthy of public trust, Canada must ensure AI systems are safe, demonstrably effective against clearly defined objectives, and that they respect the human rights and rigorous protections afforded to individuals, particularly children who represent one-fifth of Canada’s population.

Canada now has the opportunity to get this right. Our full joint submission sets out what must happen next.
