The Government of Québec has released two documents to guide the province’s postsecondary institutions in the responsible use of AI. The first is a reference framework outlining the guiding principles, directions, and common vision developed by l’Instance de concertation nationale sur l’intelligence artificielle to help postsecondary institutions shape their own policies on AI use. The second, a practical guide prepared with the Institut de valorisation des données, in collaboration with the Québec ministre de l’Enseignement supérieur, offers concrete examples and best practices from Québec and abroad to support institutional AI governance. While institutional adoption is not mandatory, the ministry indicated that the tools are intended to promote consistent and secure integration across the network. Additional QC initiatives—including a toolbox of case studies and a directory of AI training programs—are expected this fall.
