Canadas federal government unveils its national AI strategy, focusing on safety, job creation, and public service improvement. The plan includes six pillars: protecting people and democracy, empowering citizens, driving shared prosperity, building a homegrown AI base, growing Canadian companies, and forging global partnerships. The strategy emphasizes AI skills training, privacy law updates, online safety, and government tech security. Leaders are concerned about AI risks to children, with Manitoba banning youth from AI chatbots and provinces pushing back against harmful platforms. After the Tumbler Ridge shooting, Canada and OpenAI agreed to add Canadian experts to safety teams and allow federal audits. Ottawa also launched bids for homegrown AI supercomputing. As discussions on rules and youth protections continue, the strategy aims to balance innovation and safety.
