This law library guide from the university of windsor collects and organizes federal and provincial developments on Artificial Intelligence regulation in Canada. At the federal level it lists Bill C-27, An Act to Enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act and the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts (44th Par, 1st Sess, 2nd reading April 24, 2023), along with a legislative summary and departmental correspondence. It also notes federal policy work, including the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (Launched November 11, 2024), Responsible use of AI Guiding Principles (last modified 13 December, 2023), a Voluntary Code of Conduct (September 2023) and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat ‘Directive on Automated Decision-Making’ (effective April 1, 2019).
The guide surveys provincial statutes, regulations and government frameworks that intersect with Artificial Intelligence. Examples include ontario’s Enhancing Digital Security and Trust Act, 2024, SO 2024, c 24, Sch 1 and the Working for Workers Four Act, SO 2024, c 3, Sched 2, s 2(1) which adds s 8.4(1) requiring disclosure where employers use Artificial Intelligence to screen job applicants. It also lists sectoral and professional guidance produced by law societies and regulators across canada, model policies such as the Alberta Model Generative AI Use Policy, and standards work including CAN/CIOSC 101 and the NIST Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (AI RIMF 1.0).
<pThe guide devotes substantial space to court practice directions, tribunal codes and reported judicial decisions that address the use of Artificial Intelligence in filings and court operations. It cites multiple notices and practice directions (federal court notices updated May 7 2024; ontario superior court section K; registrar’s filing directive, 4 September 2025) and compiles decisions where courts and tribunals warn about fabricated citations and "hallucinations" from generative Artificial Intelligence tools, record sanctions or cost awards, and require disclosure or human verification. It also lists investigations and pending litigation, for example the office of the privacy commissioner’s joint investigation of ChatGPT (May 25 2023) and media actions against OpenAI (Nov 29 2024; docket CV-24-00732231-00CL). The guide is structured as a practical reference linking to texts, practice directions, standards, reports and case law for practitioners and researchers tracking Artificial Intelligence regulation in canada.
