Alberta’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) is responding to the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) by health information custodians.
“We are well aware that the use of technology, including AI, is becoming ever more present in all aspects of life,” said Information and Privacy Commissioner Diane McLeod, who released her first annual report earlier this week, it too focusing heavily on AI.
“Pioneers of AI have been calling for appropriate oversight of AI systems and for guard rails around this kind of technology. This will be a focus for our office in the coming years, and part of our work will be to provide support for organizations so that their use of AI and other innovative technologies is in compliance with Alberta’s privacy and access laws.”
The latest statement notes AI may be something that many organizations are unfamiliar with in terms of how to best ensure their use of AI complies with the law.
