AI & Law

AI governance, model risk, AI-specific regulatory advice.

In short

AI work in Canada sits across the proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, copyright law, the Competition Act and whichever regulator governs your sector. The federal regime is still unsettled. The obligations already binding you are not.
