5/.Canada’s experience holds global lessons. AIDA’s structure reflected competing pressures—from EU-style rigor to U.S.-style flexibility—but ultimately left health care underprotected. Precision in law is essential for safe AI.

4/.We propose 3 reforms for future legislation:.âś” A centralized AI oversight body with sectoral divisions.âś” A tiered risk framework for clinical AI tools.âś” Decoupling AI regulation from privacy law, while coordinating both.
