National Artificial Intelligence Strategy to Be Released Next Week, Carney Says
The plan will cover privacy, online safety, sovereign compute infrastructure and worker training as Ottawa aims to balance innovation and regulation.
- On Parliament Hill Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada's long-awaited AI strategy will be introduced next week, telling reporters "It's coming out next week."
- Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon had initially promised the strategy by the end of last year; the government's adoption-focused approach shifted as public conversation turned toward safety and social impact concerns.
- The strategy encompasses six pillars outlined in the spring economic statement, including privacy laws, sovereign compute infrastructure, and Canadian AI company support; Solomon said earlier this month it will consider the technology's labour market impacts.
- Critics said the advisory group leaned too much on industry perspectives, while Carney has said recently that Canada must balance AI cheerleaders with those completely opposed to the technology; Canada has strengthened relationships with pro-regulation middle powers.
- By emphasizing pro-worker industrial AI technologies, the strategy positions Canada to harness gains across the Canadian economy while maintaining alignment with pro-regulation middle powers distinct from the United States approach.
