Alberta minister reportedly putting together first AI-generated legislation in Canada
The Alberta Whisky Act will set standards for production and marketing to boost competitiveness, making Alberta the first Canadian jurisdiction to use AI in legislative drafting, officials said.
- On Nov. 26, 2025, Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally announced Alberta will use AI to develop and introduce the Alberta Whisky Act when the house sits next spring, making Alberta the first Canadian jurisdiction to do so.
- To establish clear industry standards, the government says the Alberta Whisky Act aims to support long-term growth by setting production and labelling rules, while Randy Goebel said, `Humans drafting legislation have got it wrong for centuries and the drafting of legislation is tedious, hard work`.
- Testing and vetting will ensure AI-generated legislation meets checks, while Randy Goebel warns `It turns out to require changes` due to Natural Language Processing errors.
- The Canadian Press reported that spokespeople in all provinces and territories except Ontario said their jurisdictions have never used AI to draft legislation, making Alberta's plan largely unprecedented in Canada.
- Alberta's move echoes recent international experiments such as Diella, Albania's AI minister created earlier this year with Microsoft, and the United Arab Emirates, Regulatory Intelligence Office handling about one million digital inquiries and documents.
