OTTAWA — Canada released its new AI strategy on Thursday, making a bid to lead the world’s middle powers as they race to build sovereign AI capabilities. The Liberal government plan also pledged to treat AI as critical infrastructure on par with energy and defense.
The “AI for All” strategy seeks to reduce reliance on U.S. tech giants and chart its own path in a global AI race dominated by the United States and China. But Ottawa says it cannot go it alone.
