Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies power many of the services and products Canadians use every day. To help make informed decisions and ensure the public has access to appropriate and timely information about AI, the Government of Canada has launched a public consultation on strengthening AI transparency.

We want to hear your views and concerns on:
• AI-generated content
• interactions with AI
• information about AI systems
• AI incidents
• AI agents

Your feedback will help inform Canada’s next steps on AI transparency.

The consultation is open from July 23 to September 23, 2026.
