Federal AI minister Evan Solomon and Bengio both emphasize that the funding allows Canada to strengthen sovereign AI capacity and ensure that middle powers have a voice in shaping the technology globally, rather than ceding the field to the U.S. and China.
“By investing in homegrown innovation like Scientist AI, we are strengthening Canada's sovereign AI capacity and ensuring that the next generation of AI is built safely, responsibly, and on Canadian terms.”
