Abstract

This paper assesses and compares the European Union’s ‘Artificial Intelligence Act, 2024’ with Canada’s ‘Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, 2022.’ It investigates imperative components of both the AI Acts, like risk-oriented frameworks, ethical standards, innovation incentives, and compliance systems. Considering that India has emerged as a major force in artificial intelligence research and development, the study highlights the necessity of utilizing the legislative frameworks of other countries to develop a regulatory strategy that harmonizes with the socio-economic and technological needs of its citizens. The research covers a range of recommendations, including establishing AI sandboxes & risk-management systems, running community awareness campaigns, and enforcing resilient data protection legislation. Furthermore, it accentuates the significance of cooperation between governmental departments, academia, and business stakeholders to intensify innovation while maintaining responsibility. Such magnified understanding is anticipated to help India find a ‘catalyzing’ middle ground between the requirement for AI innovation and ethical and societal safeguards.
