Canada’s AI strategy is here—and its targets are lofty. It aims to deliver a three per cent increase in Canada’s gross domestic product, worth almost an extra $200 billion cumulatively by 2031. For that to happen, the government also reckons AI adoption will soar, with 250,000 new jobs created in the same period.

“The question isn’t whether AI will transform our lives. It will,” Carney said when he announced the strategy, titled “AI for All,” last week. “The question is will it improve the lives of all Canadians or benefit only a few.”

Other questions abound: can, or should, the Canadian public move past their distrust of AI? Is the government’s lack of guardrails around the technology’s use problematic? Can Canadian AI firms truly compete on the world stage? Is there a risk of government overreach? And what does the AI strategy mean for businesses big and small across Canada?

To answer all those questions and more, The Logic managing editor Jordan Timm was joined by reporters Murad Hemmadi and Laura Osman to dig into the details. Watch the video below for an in-depth discussion tackling all the big talking points.
