Since our meeting, we have been pleased to see the Ontario government take steps to enhance cybersecurity and tackle the emerging risks associated with AI adoption in the public sector through Bill 194, The Strengthening Cyber Security and Building Trust in the Public Sector Act. [...] The rules and obligations for organizations developing or deploying AI systems vary based on the level of risk and potential harm to businesses and communities. [...] This approach would offer the necessary flexibility for AI adoption and deployment while ensuring regulatory frameworks are periodically updated and calibrated for risk to provide appropriate protection for individuals and groups. [...] At the same time, it will be crucial to provide public sector employees with the necessary training and resources, engaging technical experts for hands- on experience and guidance on responsible technology adoption and best practices. [...] The ODA should develop and enforce data governance standards, enhance data security protocols, facilitate secure and ethical data sharing, provide independent analysis, and promote stakeholder engagement and transparency.
