AI in Canada: A legal guide to developing and using artificial intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world around us. What once seemed like science fiction, is increasingly becoming part of our daily lives. From generating answers to complex questions, to enhancing the provision of healthcare services, and everything in between, AI is profoundly altering how we work and live, while simultaneously creating unprecedented opportunities for innovation, improved productivity, and economic growth. Yet, with AI’s transformative potential comes a host of complex legal and regulatory challenges that developers and users of AI tools must navigate carefully.

Osler’s guide is designed to provide a practical, business-oriented roadmap for organizations and individuals involved in the development, deployment, and use of AI systems. It addresses the multifaceted legal and operational issues that arise in the AI ecosystem, offering insights and actionable strategies to mitigate risk, enable compliance, and foster trust in AI technologies. By focusing on real-world applications and specific contexts — such as employment, healthcare, capital markets, legal services, and the public sector — this guide aims to equip developers and users of AI with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
