Canadian civil society groups, experts, and scholars are calling on the Liberal government to separate the proposed AI measures from a federal privacy bill, asserting the need for autonomous consideration of these AI provisions.
The government had initially introduced privacy legislation with the intent of empowering Canadians to have more control over their personal data, imposing penalties on non-compliant entities, and instituting regulations for AI. Separating AI measures from a privacy bill allows for a more focused and thorough consideration of AI-related risks and safeguards.
