Anthropic has introduced the Claude 2 large language model to 95 countries, but Canada is not among the supported regions.

The Canadian government has released a voluntary code of conduct for generative AI systems aimed at regulating the development and use of the technology. The code requires developers and managers to take responsibility, ensure safety, fairness, and justice, improve transparency, and perform human supervision and monitoring. This code will impact the development and maintenance of generative AI systems in Canada, as well as the revision of AI laws. Several well-known organizations have signed this voluntary code, emphasizing its importance in the framework of generative AI systems.
