Canada — Proposed Amendments to the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act

ProposedUndated

Issued by House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology (INDU).

Summary

Canada’s 2024 proposed amendments to the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act refined the pending Bill C-27 framework. The amendments focused on defining classes of high-impact AI systems, including biometric identification, administrative decision-making in areas such as social assistance, housing, and employment, and online content moderation. They also strengthened proposals for an AI Commissioner with powers to enforce compliance, audit models, and order harmful systems to stop operating. The amendments showed Canada moving from voluntary guidance toward more detailed statutory AI governance.
