RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Canada’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All

The Government of Canada released this new strategic plan to support AI development and use across the nation in June 2026. “AI must also work for all Canadians, not the other way around. It must be put to work to grow our prosperity and wellbeing, promote our culture, and strengthen our communities. We envision a Canada where AI is not a threat, but a critical piece of technology which enhances everyday life for Canadians. Done right, AI can be a powerful force – harnessed with innovation and deployed with intention for the betterment of society” (p. 6).
