Welcome to gotaipolicy.ca
You're standing in Canada's AI governance hub for community-serving organizations — a live registry, a Policy Studio for reviewing and drafting, Trust Drills for the whole team, and a practitioner community. This page is the fastest way in.

AI governance shouldn't start from zero
Across Canada, municipalities, non-profits, school boards, and small organizations are being asked — often quietly, often quickly — to adopt AI. The pressure is real. The risk of doing it badly, without policy, without community, without peer evidence, is worse.
Got AI Policy exists so nobody has to write, defend, or update an AI policy from a blank page. Every row in our registry is a real, verified public artifact from a real Canadian municipality. Every feature — Compare, Reviews, Comparison Briefs, MCP — is designed to turn that shared evidence into something you can bring to your desk, your council, or your client.
The promise behind the whole project: AI governance is community work, not a solo assignment. This hub is your backing.
What did you come here to do today?
Pick the sentence that sounds most like your week. Each one drops you straight into the tool built for that intent.
"I need to draft an AI policy — soon"
Open Policy Studio: use the guided Policy Builder, pull comparison briefs from peer municipalities, and export a shareable draft in the format you need.
Open Policy Studio"I want to see who has AI policy in Canada"
Browse the live registry — every verified Canadian municipality, filterable by province and status, with a link to each source document.
Browse the registry"I want to compare my city to peers"
Put two or three peer municipalities side by side to see the clause-by-clause pattern — disclosure, permitted use, human review, retention.
Compare municipalities"I need to review a draft before council or a client"
Paste or upload a draft policy and get a structured AI review — gaps, strengths, missing clauses, and concrete next steps you can defend.
Run a policy review"I want to train my team on AI risks"
Run a Trust Drill: scenario-based decision drills for the whole team. Free, no login, nothing stored — try one on any device before your next AI conversation.
Try Trust Drills"I want to track a municipality over time"
Save filters, pin the municipalities you're tracking, and get alerts when a policy you're watching is published, revised, or retired.
Open your dashboard"I want to plug the registry into my AI assistant"
Wire Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Notion, and more into the public registry via MCP — read-only, no key. Your AI cites live data instead of stale training.

MCP for your AI assistant
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Notion, and more directly to the public registry — read-only, no key.
Using the hub as a governance tool
The hub is designed to sit inside your existing workflow — not replace it. Three of the most common patterns we see:
Before you draft
Pull a comparison brief for peer municipalities. Walk in with what's already been done, not just what should be done.
While you draft
Run a policy review against your working draft to surface gaps — accountability, procurement, transparency, redress.
Every day after
Pin the municipalities you're tracking. Connect the MCP server so your AI assistant cites live registry data, not stale training.
Who this is for
Benchmark against peer cities before drafting or updating your own AI policy. Bring cited evidence to council.
Walk into meetings with a comparison brief that shows what comparable municipalities are already doing.
Ground client work in verified public evidence. Export CSVs, PDFs, and structured reviews for engagements.
Advocate with facts. Show gaps in your region and point to the peers that are already leading.
Cite a living, source-linked dataset instead of screenshots that go stale in a week.
See whether your city is on the map — and what "having an AI policy" actually means in practice.

Nobody governs AI alone
Got AI Policy is a long-term commitment to Canadian public-sector AI governance.
