Last week, the federal government introduced two pieces of legislation proposing major privacy, cybersecurity and data governance reforms. The first, Bill C-26, would enact the Critical Cyber Systems Protection Act (CCSPA), which aims to protect critical cyber systems in the telecom, financial, energy and infrastructure sectors and grants substantial new order-making and information-gathering powers to federal regulators overseeing them. The second, Bill C-27, would enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA), a previously proposed statute that has been updated since the last Parliament, and the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA), which would govern the use of AI and automated decision systems.
If passed, the Bill would significantly reform federal private-sector privacy law. It would also introduce rules to regulate “high-impact” artificial intelligence (AI) systems under a new Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA).
AIDA would, among other things:
Establish a new Artificial Intelligence and Data Commissioner to support the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry in enforcing AIDA
Make it an offence to make available or use an artificial intelligence system that is likely to cause serious harms
Like the EU’s recent proposal, the AIDA would take a harm-based approach to regulating AI by creating new obligations for yet-to-be-defined “high-impact systems.”
Boston Global Forum (BGF), Club de Madrid and AI World Society (AIWS) established the Global Alliance for Digital Governance (GADG) in September 2021. This is a part of the Social Contract for the AI Age, Framework for AI International Accord, and Remaking the World – Toward an Age of Global Enlightenment.

June 26 is United Nations Charter Day, the date on which the foundational document for the global organization was signed by its original members in San Francisco in 1945. It offers a moment to reflect upon the very first resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, in January 1946, on “the problems raised by the discovery of atomic energy.” The text of that resolution is linked below and throws open the question of whether a similar approach would serve contemporary discoveries which can be constructive and fulfilling and yet also capable of causing problems, like digital reach and artificial intelligence.
