Policy summary

Ontario addresses AI in public services and education through the Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) Framework, the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence Directive, and the Enhancing Digital Security and Trust Act, 2024 (EDSTA). Rather than a single standalone K-12 AI Act, Ontario combines provincial public-sector AI governance with board-level digital security mandates and mandatory educator Professional Activity (PA) Days on AI and digital safety.
