The types of content that it generates and the decisions, recommendations or predictions that it makes.How the system is, or intended to be used.Transparency: Persons that make available for use, or manage the operation of a high-impact system, must publish on a publicly available website in plain English a description of:.Monitoring: Persons responsible for high-impact systems must establish measures to monitor compliance with the risk mitigation measures.Assessment and risk mitigation measures: Persons responsible for artificial intelligence systems must assess whether it is a high-impact system (a term to be defined in the regs), and establish measures to identify, assess and mitigate risk of harm or biased output that could result in use of the system.An “artificial intelligence system” is broadly defined and captures any “technological system that, autonomously or partly autonomously, processes data related to human activities through the use of a genetic algorithm, a neural network, machine learning or another technique in order to generate content or make decisions, recommendations or predictions.” Scope of application: The AIDA applies to private sector organizations that design, develop or make available for use artificial intelligence systems in the course of international or interprovincial trade and commerce, an area of regulation within the federal government’s legislative authority.
#Brief overview full
It will be difficult to know the full impact of AIDA without the release of the regulations.

While the general approach in AIDA is apparent, the full impact of the legislation will only be appreciated with the release of associated regulations which will set out most of the detailed application. The stated objective of AIDA is to establish common requirements across Canada for the design, development and deployment of artificial intelligence systems that are consistent with national and international standards and to prohibit certain conduct in relation to artificial intelligence systems that may result in serious harm to individuals or their interests, in each case, in a manner that upholds Canadian norms and values in line with principles of international human rights law. If passed, the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) would be the first law in Canada regulating the use of artificial intelligence systems. On Jthe Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry tabled Bill C-27 introducing updates to the federal private sector privacy regime and a new law on artificial intelligence.
