Canada’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All

In forceStrategyNon-binding

Six-pillar national strategy that replaces the lapsed AIDA approach with commitments to modernise privacy law, introduce online safety laws, give legal tools against deepfakes, work on watermarking of AI content, create a Canada Trusted AI Certification programme and fund the Canadian AI Safety Institute (CAD 50 million). It is a policy document with no legal force.

Why it matters

The strategy indicates that Canada will regulate AI through privacy, online-safety, criminal and certification measures instead of a single AI act.
