Plain-English summary

What this regulation means

Built for operators

Canada's proposed AIDA would create a federal framework for high-impact AI systems used in interprovincial and international commerce. It would require responsible persons to assess and mitigate risks of harm and biased output, keep records, publish plain-language descriptions, and notify the government of serious incidents. The proposal also gives the minister audit and order powers and creates offences for reckless or deceptive conduct involving AI systems.
