Excerpt:
“On June 4th, 2026, the federal government released Canada’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All. The Government’s stated intention is to promote AI adoption and bolster Canada’s global leadership in this field, putting AI to work “to grow our prosperity and wellbeing, promote our culture, and strengthen our communities.” The strategy sets out six pillars to this effect:
- Protecting Canadians and safeguarding democracy
- Ensuring AI empowers Canadians
- Powering shared prosperity
- Building the Canadian sovereign AI foundation
- Building and scaling Canadian AI champions
- Building trusted partnerships and global alliances.
This brief examines the contents of these pillars with an emphasis on the announcements that will matter most to Canada’s arts, culture, and heritage sector and creative industries. It also explores gaps and opportunities for these sectors.”
