Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) is looking to modernize and adopt new ways of working. This incudes the use of new technology, including the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). To begin in a purposeful manner, the organization developed an AI strategy which was informed through feedback from key stakeholders and partners, from its staff and from a review of international research. The research informed several ways AI could add value to CIHI's internal operations and to the external role CIHI could play in advancing responsible AI adoption in health systems across Canada. This article describes the strategy development process and the areas of focus within the strategy.
