The "AI For All" strategy delivered today by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Solomon this morning gets a 6/10 on our Sovereignty Score.
This much-anticipated document presents ambitious targets for AI adoption, infrastructure, and governance. But the devil is in the details.
๐ in the details. We're making a massive bet on the presumed productivity promise(s) of this tech. It's not totally clear where the economic value capture strategy is. Excited about the acknowledgements of the need to invest in sovereign capabilities. Full write up to come.
In recent weeks we have been publishing a policy series "Foundations of Digital Sovereignty" that looks at governance, and value capture for Canada.

The "AI For All" strategy delivered today by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Solomon this morning gets a 6/10 on our Sovereignty Score.
This much-anticipated document presents ambitious targets for AI adoption, infrastructure, and governance. But the devil is in the details.
Ultimately, success of Canada's AI strategy will hinge on whether we have a solid plan for capturing value from this technology, and ensuring that the value from AI benefits ordinary Canadians.
We will be tracking this file closely.

Today we're publishing Chapter 5 of our policy series on digital sovereignty. This week we're looking at cloud security, and the way that foreign powers can interfere with Canadian data.

So that's the big picture: For Canada to assert meaningful digital sovereignty, we need governance strategies for data, IP, and technical standards.
We also need to understand our vulnerabilities clearly, in order to address them.
This week, in Chapter 4 of Foundations of Digital Sovereignty, we're talking about the value of data, and the role of governance in the digital economy.
We need to reframe the terms of how data is used, to protect Canadians from exploitation:

And now today we are releasing Chapter 4, on data governance. Data is arguably the most pervasive and powerful factor of the 21st century global economy.
If Canada isn't meaningfully governing how data is used, we're not governing the digital realm.

Chapter 3 of Foundations of Digital Sovereignty looks at intellectual property, which is a key system for technology companies to maintain their dominance and market control.
Canada's national IP strategy is sorely lacking.
