Canada launches National Council on Artificial Intelligence

National Council on Artificial Intelligence AI for All strategy AI adoption sovereign AI infrastructure technological competitiveness

Prime Minister Mark Carney has launched the National Council on Artificial Intelligence to advance Canada’s AI strategy. The council is designed to provide independent, practical advice on the country’s AI transformation, focusing on accelerating adoption, fostering national champions, and building sovereign AI infrastructure.

The initiative supports the government’s ‘AI for All’ strategy, which aims to increase business AI adoption from 12 per cent to 60 per cent by 2034. The strategy seeks to drive approximately $200 billion in economic growth and create up to 250,000 new jobs by 2031. By fostering domestic expertise and computing infrastructure, the government intends to ensure Canadian competitiveness and protect against foreign control of critical technology.

Carney will play an active role in setting the council’s agenda. The group includes prominent experts such as AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio, alongside specialists in economics, business, and governance. This council complements existing advisory bodies focused specifically on AI and labour, as well as AI and culture.
