AI use in Ontario

AI is considered a computer technology that learns and sees patterns in data, which can allow it to make sense of language, solve problems, create things and make decisions. We disclose AI assets on the Ontario Data Catalogue to be transparent about how we use AI.

AI can present a transformative opportunity when used in government to:

• improve public services
• save time and create efficiencies
• generate new value

While AI can provide benefits to Ontarians, if improperly governed it can lead to misuse and bias. Ontario is committed to using AI in a trustworthy, responsible, and accountable way. Learn more about Ontario’s approach towards creating a Trustworthy AI Framework.
