Ottawa has announced the creation of an AI Strategy Task Force and a month-long national consultation aimed at shaping the country’s future approach to artificial intelligence (AI).
Over the next several months, the government will develop a refreshed AI strategy, with the goal of keeping Canada at the forefront of AI innovation, it says. The process will involve broad engagement with experts and the public, focusing on areas such as research, talent, industry adoption, commercialization, investment, safe AI systems, education, infrastructure, and security.
The newly formed AI Strategy Task Force brings together specialists from industry, academia, and civil society. This group will consult widely and provide practical recommendations to inform the new strategy. Canadians are also encouraged to submit their views through the Consulting Canadians portal.
