About this episode

The episode discusses recent developments in Canadian digital policy, including AI strategies and privacy law reforms with Kris Klein.

For those following along with digital policy in Canada, the last few weeks have been chock full of developments. In early June, the Canadian government introduced its AI for All strategy, aimed at driving economic growth, bolstering digital sovereignty and increasing trust and safety. The government also released Bill C-34 - the Safe Social Media Act, which would ban children under age 16 from accessing certain social media platforms, and Bill C-36, which would reform the nation's privacy laws, including a significant restructure of its enforcement framework. Kris Klein is the IAPP Country Leader for Canada and partner at nNovation. I recently caught up with Kris to discuss these converging policy developments and what we can expect from the AI strategy and privacy reforms.
