Responding to the policy impact of Artifical Intelligence
This motion directs Federal Council, as the governing body of the Green Party of Canada (Article 6.1.2), to ensure that all Cabinet portfolios maintain a position on Artificial Intelligence-related policy for their portfolio, that is consistent with member-approved policy.
Type of Proposal
A directive to ask the party’s Federal Council to consider an action
Objective / Benefit
The Green Party of Canada will benefit from leading other political parties on Artificial Intelligence-related policy, understanding its impact across all policy areas. The 2022 Green Talks series recommended that every critic should understand the impact of Artificial Intelligence to their portfolio. This directive aims to codify that recommendation into Federal Council and Shadow Cabinet priorities. This directive takes no position on what the policy should be, only that it is strategically important for the Party to have a clear, nuanced position on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on all Federal policy as soon as possible.

@james_mihaychuk The intent of this proposal is to encourage the Green Party of Canada to take similar initiatives as the British Columbia Greens, who understand the importance of speed in this domain: https://www.bcgreens.ca/bc_greens_push_for_artificial_intelligence_task_force
We have not seen similar initiatives within the Green Party of Canada. This leaves members with two options, individual policy resolutions, or a directive to Federal Council to encourage similar action to the BC Greens from Shadow Cabinet. The two are not exclusive, and this proposal is intended to provide member support for the second option. I would strongly encourage specific policy resolutions to go ahead as well.
