What happened

The Parti Québécois announced it would establish an expert and oversight committee on artificial intelligence, gathering industry actors to assess opportunities and potential impacts in education, work, business, and government.

Why it matters

Governance-focused action aims to expand society’s capacity to manage AI’s societal impacts, though outcomes depend on implementation and context.

The Parti Québécois stated its plan to assemble a broad council of AI experts to advise on how the technology should be developed and used in Quebec. The group would look at impacts on culture, education, workers, data protection, and public institutions, aiming to balance opportunity with safeguards.

Québec would seek to understand social changes driven by AI, measure impacts, and align recommendations with best practices from around the world, while involving schools, workplaces, and government bodies. Acknowledging the rapid pace of AI, the proposal emphasizes a careful, inclusive approach to governance.
