Help Shape Canada's AI Transparency Register
Official title: Government of Canada Artificial Intelligence Register
The federal government launched its first AI Register in November 2025—a public list of AI systems used by government departments. Right now, it's a bare-bones early version. They want your input on what information should be included and how it should work going forward.
Why This Matters
Government AI systems already make decisions that affect Canadians—from immigration applications to benefit eligibility. This register is meant to show you what AI the government is using and how. Your feedback shapes whether it actually delivers meaningful transparency or just ticks a box.
What Could Change
Future versions of the AI Register could include more detailed information about how each AI system works, what data it uses, and how decisions are made. The government may add new features based on public feedback, like risk assessments or impact reports for each system.
