This document (50 page PDF) reads a lot like the European strategy just released, which isn't really surprising. The three major pillars are trust, opportunity, and sovereignty, and of those the elements that interest me the most are "shared prosperity" and "benefit from AI". It remains an open question how equitably distributed those will be. There's an emphasis on building out infrastructure to reduce dependence on key suppliers, just as in Europe. And there's a bluntly stated assessment of the state of innovation in Canada: "Canada helped invent modern AI, and that legacy is not just historical... Too much Canadian innovation is captured and scaled elsewhere." There's also an emphasis on AI literacy, "the understanding that lets Canadians recognize AI, judge its outputs, and decide for themselves where it belongs in their lives."
