Quebec has implemented new guidelines governing the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace, marking a significant shift for employers operating in the province. The guidelines address issues such as transparency, employee consent, bias, and accountability in the deployment of AI-driven systems for recruitment, monitoring, and decision-making.

Experts note that these changes will require organizations to update policies, provide clear disclosures, and ensure robust oversight when using AI in HR and management. Employers must also assess their systems for fairness and protect employee data in line with evolving privacy laws.

The article suggests that Quebec’s move could set a standard for other Canadian jurisdictions, prompting a broader re-examination of AI ethics, compliance, and worker protections in the digital age.
