This document describes the outcome of a a public consultation on some proposals for ensuring the appropriate regulation of AI in the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The authors argue, "A rights-based law that includes rights to explanation, contestation, and demonstrable accountability, while introducing consent exceptions to allow for more innovative and socially beneficial uses information, promotes a realistic and effective approach to privacy in AI." It would allow personal information to be used by AI, but within a rights based framework "that would entrench privacy as a human right and a necessary element for the exercise of other fundamental rights." It would also create provisions to ensure transparency, accuracy and fairness in automated decision-making, and require businesses to demonstrate accountability. These are all spelled out in more detail, including especially what is meant by things like transparency and accountability.
