Generative AI: A global guide to key IP considerations
Artificial intelligence (AI) raises many intellectual property (IP) issues.

The updated FAQs are not law, but they are indicative of GAC’s interpretation of sanctions. While the updated FAQs provide limited insight, they largely confirm GAC’s broad interpretation of the provisions. Most notably, GAC has taken the position that the facilitation offence provisions cover dealings with non-Canadian third parties that are themselves dealing with designated entities. That said, key ambiguities and questions remain, including on the deemed ownership provisions. Without further guidance, a conservative approach to the sanctions provisions is prudent.
