Canada's artificial intelligence legislation is here

On 16 June 2022 the Canadian federal government introduced Bill C-27, also known as the Digital Charter Implementation Act 2022. The AIDA establishes Canada-wide requirements for the design, development, use, and provision of AI systems. The AIDA may have extra-territorial application if components of global AI systems are used, developed, designed or managed in Canada. As outlined in our previous post, the European Union recently proposed an Artificial Intelligence Act, which also would have some extra-territorial application. Multi-national companies should develop a co-ordinated global compliance program.
