“Write legislation that lays out the rules for an ‘Alberta Whisky Act’ and what might constitute an Alberta whisky.”

While the actual query would surely be more complex than that, an Alberta minister says the government is considering using AI technology to draft a forthcoming piece of legislation.

Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally has been asked to lay out the standards for “Alberta whisky," and he said the task represents the right sort of test case for the burgeoning technology.

“It’s important, but there's no hearts or lungs involved,” Nally said. “There's no lives that are going to be lost. And because it is legislation that's going to be laying out a process from the grains to the water and how things are distilled, if a mistake is made, we can course correct.”
