Ontario’s Strengthening Cyber Security and Building Trust in the Public Sector Act, 2024 received royal assent on 25 November 2024. It enacts the Enhancing Digital Security and Trust Act, under which public sector entities named by regulation must disclose their use of AI systems, adopt an accountability framework and manage the systems’ risks. It also amends FIPPA to require privacy impact assessments and breach reporting to the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

Why it matters

Ontario public sector bodies named by regulation face AI disclosure and risk duties, with the detail and start dates left to provincial regulations.
