What Canada ISED Voluntary Code of Conduct on Responsible Development and Management of Advanced Generative AI requires
Canada's Voluntary Code of Conduct on the Responsible Development and Management of Advanced Generative AI Systems was published by Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada in September 2023 as a voluntary industry commitment framework for organisations that develop, operate, or manage advanced generative AI systems; the Code establishes seven core commitments: (1) Safety - developers must assess, mitigate, and address safety risks including dual-use risks, before deploying advanced generative AI systems; conduct pre-deployment testing; implement post-deployment monitoring; (2) Security - organisations must protect against misuse, adversarial inputs, and prompt injection attacks; implement identity verification where appropriate; (3) Incident reporting - signatories commit to report to the relevant Canadian government authority incidents where advanced generative AI systems produce outputs resulting in significant harm; (4) Transparency - signatories must publicly disclose what advanced generative AI systems they have deployed; publish information about capabilities and known limitations; label AI-generated content where practicable; (5) Diversity, inclusion, and accessibility - ensure AI systems do not discriminate based on prohibited grounds under Canadian human rights law; conduct fairness testing across protected groups; (6) International engagement - support the development of international technical standards and interoperability; contribute to multilateral AI governance frameworks; (7) Accountability - establish clear internal accountability for AI governance; designate a responsible individual or office for AI safety oversight; the Code explicitly targets advanced generative AI systems with transformative potential including large language models, image/audio/video generation models, and multimodal foundation models; the Code preceded the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) which remains under parliamentary consideration; major signatories included OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon Web Services, Cohere, and numerous Canadian technology organisations.
