Summary

Alberta used artificial intelligence to help prepare an initial draft of its Whisky Act, which sets labelling standards for the province’s whisky. Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally said AI helped analyse information and develop building blocks, while government staff reviewed the work; he said Alberta does not expect AI to write legislation on its own. Legal analysis by Fasken warns that AI can miss policy context or carry bias, so human oversight remains essential.
