The Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba (WCB) recognizes that Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides the opportunity to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of WCB operations and delivery of services to workers and employers.
The WCB also recognizes that AI must be used in a way that protects the privacy and security of information, preserves the integrity of the system and in a manner that manages risks associated with the use of AI.
The WCB is committed to using AI in a way that is transparent, responsible and accountable. The WCB is also committed to using AI to enhance the quality, efficiency, and safety of its services. Any AI use will be focused on augmenting human capabilities, improving operational processes, and supporting our employees in delivering greater value.
The WCB has developed this policy to establish the guiding principles the WCB will use when considering the use of AI tools and the framework for managing risks associated with the use of AI.
