Erratum

On page 33, under the heading Responsible Use Guidelines and Regulatory Body Governance, inaccurate information appeared beginning with the sentence "Here in Canada, the silence of...." The author and the editorial committee regret this mistake. Although the print version contains the inaccurate information, this online version of WCV contains the corrected text, as follows:

“Here in Canada, the silence of the veterinary regulators is noticeable. I could find no mention of AI technology on the CVBC's (our provincial regulator) website and a phone call to the deputy registrar requesting information on the topic had not been returned by the time of this submission. The CVMA lists Technology and Veterinary Medicine as a priority area in its Policy and Outreach section; however, only telemedicine is specifically referenced. The CVMA does have a position statement entitled Artificial Intelligence in Veterinary Medicine dated October 12, 2023 which states, amongst other things, that scientific rigour should be observed in the development of AI technology, and should be delivered to veterinarians in accordance with their provincial regulators’ policies.”
