And AI isthe major driver of innovation in Canada and around theworld. But to understand the potential of Canadian AI, youhave to see how it is already working to improve the livesof people. How a Canadian pediatric cardiologist in Halifax namedDr. Robert Chen is using the AI application he built todiagnose heart murmurs in newborns. His technologycould cut down wait times by many months for anxiousparents to see a specialist, saving our health care systemtens of millions of dollars. You have to see how a Canadian AI company calledCroptimistic is helping farmers precisely map their soil.This technology allows them to use less fertilizer, whileincreasing crop yield, making our food system moreresilient and more affordable. You have to see how Canadian AI is helping businessesin advanced manufacturing, auto parts, and mining staycompetitive even through global trade disruptions. These aren’t isolated stories. Over 150,000 Canadianinnovators employed by more than 3,500 Canadiancompanies are developing AI solutions that will builda stronger, more resilient economy, solve problems,serve people, and create good, high paying jobs. Canada’s new AI strategy will build on this momentum todevelop a responsible, safe, and sovereign AI industry andresearch community — one that ensures AI will serve allCanadians, not the other way around. Canada must be open to the enormous opportunities inAI, but we must also be candid about the real concerns.AI raises hard questions about job security, privacy, sus-tainability, sovereignty, and trust. Responding to theseconcerns and building responsible Canadian AI will not beeasy, but it must be done. We will face these challengeshead on. This is exactly the pragmatic and prudent approachCanadians told us they wanted. Through our nationalconsultation, we received more than 11,000 submissionsfrom workers, entrepreneurs, researchers, students,and community leaders across the country. We alsoreceived insights from our 28-member expert AIStrategy Task Force. We heard from First Nations,Métis and Inuit leaders, arts and culture organizations,labour and environmental groups, and many othersconcerned about economic growth, AI safety, and thewelfare of children. This strategy reflects their voices,their concerns, and their ambitions for our country. We will strengthen Canadian sovereignty at a timewhen it is being deeply challenged. We will build a robust,advanced economy for all, where our workers and SMEsare adopting AI at a wide scale and competing globally.We will build resilience with new alliances amonglike-minded countries to ensure that Canadians havechoices in the AI tools they use. And we will build thison a foundation of trust and safety. We will protect ourchildren and our citizens, our culture and languages,and our democracy. Canadians want safe, reliable, and sovereignAI. They want the best tools to build aprosperous future guided by our values.That is our plan. This is Canada’s AI for Allmoment. Let’s seize it. The Honourable Evan Solomon Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation andMinister responsible for the Federal Economic DevelopmentAgency for Southern Ontario The Government’sVision: AI for All We must implement this vision with urgency: thismoment carries both extraordinary opportunity and pro-found strategic risk for Canada. AI is rapidly becominga foundational driver of economic growth, productivity,industrial capability, and geopolitical influence. Nationsthat lead in AI will increasingly shape global markets,technological standards, supply chains, and the broaderbalance of economic and political power. This transfor-mation is already underway. Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of dailylives — at work, at school, at home, and in the businesses,organizations, and governments that shape our communi-ties. What we are seeing today is only the beginning. Thespeed and scale of this transformation bring both promiseand uncertainty about how AI will affect our jobs, privacy,security, and the institutions we rely on. For Canada tothrive in the era of AI, Canadians need to trus
