Shopify Inc. shareholders vote at the company’s annual general meeting against a proposal to create an artificial intelligence (AI) policy. Multiple outlets report that the measure is defeated, with the company’s board encouraging shareholders to vote against it. One report says support for the proposal is low, with less than 14% of shareholders voting in favour at the meeting. Other coverage similarly states that the proposal is “shot down” by shareholders, though it notes that Shopify has not publicly detailed the full breakdown of opposition at the time of reporting. The proposal is submitted by the Shareholder Association for Research and Education, according to City News Toronto. The sources agree on the outcome: shareholders do not approve developing an AI policy. The accounts differ mainly in the extent of vote totals disclosed, but they consistently describe a narrow level of support for the proposal and active board opposition. Shopify’s next steps and whether it will pursue or revise any AI-related governance are not addressed in the provided summaries.
