What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Proposed a federal risk-based framework for high-impact AI systems, part of the Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022. Businesses responsible for a regulated activity involving a high-impact system would have been required to assess and mitigate risk of harm and biased output, and to notify the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry if a system caused or was likely to cause material harm.
The government's own companion document named transparency as a core principle: providing the public with information sufficient to understand a high-impact system's capabilities, limitations and potential impacts. Introduced June 16, 2022, the bill reached second reading and committee study but did not pass before the 44th Parliament was prorogued on January 6, 2025, and died without royal assent.
