Canada's Chief Information Officers (CIO) Strategy Council has published a new set of national standards for the use of artificial intelligence. The standards are meant to aid organizations on how to use developing technologies. The council acknowledges that artificial intelligence is misunderstood, but that companies are attempting to implement it within their organizations. The main focus of the standards is to specify the "minimum requirements in protecting human values and incorporating ethics in the design and use of automated decision systems." According to the standards, AI should drive inclusive growth and benefit people and the planet.
