Canada has published a national AI strategy that puts sovereignty at its heart, just days after the EU unveiled its own major package to reduce reliance on foreign tech.

In Canada, Amazon has a 42 per cent share of the cloud market, Microsoft holds 31 per cent, and Google has 12 per cent, according to the report.

The EU’s tech sovereignty package pairs ‘AI continent’ rhetoric with chip emergency powers and limits on US cloud providers handling sensitive data.
