## Resource

Carney just released his new 55-page strategy, “AI for All,” to much fanfare, over $2B in funding commitments, and…very few details on how he’s going to accomplish any of it. Canadians were at the forefront of AI’s creation, yet we’re already falling behind in harnessing this revolutionary technology. But most of us aren’t convinced that AI is safe: not for the environment, or the kids, or our personal privacy. Plus, it seems like no one’s figured out how to actually make a return on their investment. ​ So, is Canada investing in a product that’s doomed to fail? Correction: Canada’s AI Strategy contains the word “must” 22 times, not 25 times, as is suggested by host James Nicholson.
