TL;DR
CIRO has no formal AI policy, but the February 2026 Compliance Report signals exactly what examiners will ask: whether your firm can explain how its AI tools work, what controls are in place, and how you verify accuracy. CSA Staff Notice 11-348 places AI meeting documentation in the lower-risk portion of the regulatory spectrum. The framework for responsible use already exists. The question was never really about permission.
