An Act respecting the artificial intelligence supervisory commissioner
Quebec's PL 58 establishes a provincial Autorité de supervision de l'intelligence artificielle as a regulator with authority to require risk-impact assessments for high-risk AI systems used in healthcare, justice, education, and employment decisions affecting Quebecers. Aligns with the federal Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA, the third part of Bill C-27 of 44-1) but asserts Quebec's distinct civil-law and consumer-protection jurisdiction. Brought after the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec warned that generative-AI systems were being deployed without privacy-impact reviews.
