Generative AI Use Policy

Embracing innovation, upholding trust in ideas 

As the think tank about tomorrow, the Public Policy Forum is embracing generative artificial intelligence both as a transformative technology requiring policy leadership and as a set of tools enabling us to work more effectively. Sound policies are essential to striking the balance between the considerable benefits of AI and mitigating the risks. We are committed to ensuring that PPF’s values, including trustworthiness and creativity, continue to permeate everything we do, including technological adoption. 

PPF undertakes to embrace generative artificial intelligence within the following parameters: 

• Existing policies apply to the use of generative AI in all PPF activities. Importantly, this includes our commitment to protect the security and privacy of confidential information provided by our members and partners.  

• As with all our work, PPF maintains complete editorial control and oversight of AI produced or enhanced content. Any use of generative AI is attentively reviewed before publication. PPF staff are the ultimate arbiters of all our products and accept the responsibilities that entails.  

• In the spirit of transparency, we will disclose when and how generative AI has supported the production of any major published work by PPF, whether in the form of text, visuals or the spoken word.  

• PPF will continue to conduct multi-stakeholder, in-depth, original research, with generative AI playing a supportive role.  

Given the pace at which this technology is evolving, PPF will continually review our use of generative AI to ensure trustworthiness, privacy, innovation and creativity in keeping with our vision of informing policy discussions aimed at creating a better Canada.
