Quote / Position

“The CLC believes that transparency and public consultation are essential and indispensable elements of an effective and adequate regulatory framework for the development and application of AI.”

Context

This quote gives the Canadian labour-centre layer a direct governance test: transparency and consultation are not optional communications practices, but conditions of adequate AI regulation. It pairs with UFCW Canada’s workplace-level emphasis on worker consultation and employer transparency.
