Montreal : Quebec’s government introduced a groundbreaking law on April 2, 2025, requiring all AI systems used in the province to prioritize French as their default language. Bill 77, dubbed the “Digital Francophonie Act,” aims to safeguard Quebec’s linguistic heritage amid growing reliance on English-dominated tech platforms. Companies like Google and Amazon must now adapt their AI tools—such as voice assistants and chatbots—to comply by year’s end or face hefty fines. Premier François Legault called it “a necessary evolution of Bill 101,” but tech firms warn of potential innovation setbacks. Public reaction is mixed, with some praising the cultural stance and others decrying it as impractical in a globalized world.
