Canada Launches $2.3B AI Strategy with Six Pillars

Canada unveiled AI for All, a $2.3 billion five-year strategy with six pillars including sovereign infrastructure, job creation, and AI literacy. The plan targets 90,000 AI jobs for young Canadians by 2031 and 250,000 broader economy roles. AI Minister Evan Solomon said Canadians want safe, reliable, and sovereign AI. The strategy lacks concrete safety timelines, enforcement mechanisms, or regulatory deadlines.
