## Resource

Quebec’s national library, BAnQ, is launching a groundbreaking AI training database designed to preserve and amplify Quebec’s unique culture, including French and Indigenous languages, ensuring AI models don’t overlook the region’s rich identity. Unlike open-source dumps, access will be tightly controlled to protect creators and promote fair compensation, addressing a critical gap in Quebec-specific data for AI. With a $10.5 million budget and a 2029 launch target, this initiative could become a vital hub for local content—keeping Quebec’s voice alive in the AI revolution.
