Canada’s AI imperative

Start, scale, succeed

Technologies like artificial intelligence are fundamentally changing the way we live and work. We believe Canada has an opportunity and a responsibility to lead in these new spaces, and to share our Canadian values with the world.

Canada’s AI imperative series


Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to be one of the leading economic drivers of our time, and Deloitte believes Canada has a responsibility to be a global leader. As a country, we have the research strength, talent pool, and startups to become a leading AI supplier, but that’s not enough if we truly want to lead in an AI-driven world. Our ambition as a nation should be to shape what that world will look like. True leadership is required―that means taking steps now to establish a world-class AI ecosystem in Canada. Deloitte’s multi-part series on Canada’s AI imperative provides a platform on which to engage business and policy leaders about what it will take for our country to claim a global leadership position in AI and to explore different dimensions of what an AI prosperity strategy could look like.
