CIAIG stands for the Canadian Institute for AI Governance.
It is an emerging Canadian initiative focused on helping people and organizations understand and practise responsible AI governance through research, policy analysis, professional learning and practical tools.
Its central purpose: help ensure AI serves people and the public good, with clear accountability for how it is developed and used.

AI’s potential. Our shared responsibility.
CIAIG connects research, policy and practice to help people and organizations shape an AI future grounded in accountability, trust and the public good.

Help Shape the Conversation
Responsible AI governance takes many perspectives. We welcome conversations with people across government, business, technology, academia and civil society about learning, research and collaboration.

Knowledge Into Practice
We’re developing research, practical resources and learning opportunities to help turn responsible AI principles into everyday decisions.
Build the Capacity to Govern AI
Responsible AI requires informed people and capable institutions. Our planned work includes professional learning, training, certifications, events and conversations exploring AI’s implications for people and organizations.
Through interviews, podcasts and content on YouTube, Spotify, Substack and LinkedIn, we aim to make AI governance accessible to a wider audience.


Powerful tools. Thoughtful direction.
AI opens new possibilities. Governance helps us decide what we’re aiming for, establish shared rules and take responsibility for the results.
CIAIG brings research, policy and practical learning into that conversation.
