The OSC analysis shows increasing mentions and different moods in AI

TorontoPresent May 6, 2025 / CNW/ – The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has published personnel research that analyzes the frequency and feeling of Canadian list identifications on artificial intelligence (AI) in their financial information.

Explorative research revealed three important findings:

1. Increased AI mentioned: The OSC observed a significant increase in the number of issuers who mentioned Ki in their MD&S as, which reflects the growing meaning and integration of AI technologies in various sectors.

2. Tone shift: The registration year 2024 marks a turning point in the overall tone, which is used by issuers for the discussion of AI. Before that, most issuers who discussed AI had a positive mood overall, but together with more issuers who mentioned AI, the negative mood rose considerably, which indicates a more balanced view of the risks and opportunities of the AI.

3. Different feelings: Emitters in the finance and information sector have a clear divergence in the mood compared to the other industries. While the financial and information sectors maintain a more positive AI, other industries are increasingly careful.

If issuers are more tailored to the potential advantages and risks of AI, we see a more differentiated discussion,” we said, “said a more differentiated discussion” Leslie bybergExecutive Vice President, strategic regulation at the OSC.
