Introduction On January 29, 2025, Ontario passed Bill 194, enacting the Enhancing Digital Security and Trust Act, 2024 (EDSTA). This legislation imposes strict requirements on public sector entities that use or intend to use artificial intelligence (AI) systems. With mandates around transparency, accountability, and risk management, EDSTA is a pivotal step in responsible AI adoption.
As an ISO 42001-certified company, Dalikoo is fully aligned with EDSTA’s mandates, making us a trusted partner for public sector organizations navigating compliance and certification requirements.
Understanding EDSTA’s AI Compliance Requirements Under EDSTA, public sector entities must:
- Provide public information on their AI system usage.
- Develop and implement an accountability framework with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
- Manage risks associated with AI deployment, including reporting and record-keeping.
- Ensure AI systems adhere to prescribed regulations and requirements.
- Disclose AI system usage and provide oversight by an appointed individual.
These measures aim to ensure AI governance, ethical implementation, and enhanced digital security across public services.
