Canada’s government plans to release its long-awaited artificial intelligence (AI) strategy next week, according to AI Minister Carney. The strategy is widely anticipated as a framework for guiding how AI is adopted across both the public and private sectors. Multiple outlets report that the plan is expected to outline the government’s vision and priorities for wider use of AI in the economy and governance.
One reported component of the strategy is its consideration of AI’s impacts on the labour market. Earlier statements cited by outlets indicate that the strategy will address how AI could affect jobs and workers, including potential implications for employment and skills. The reporting also characterizes the strategy as a significant policy effort, suggesting it is intended to provide direction for stakeholders while setting expectations for responsible implementation.
Both sources align on the timing of the release and the strategy’s broad goal of establishing a national approach to AI, including attention to workforce effects.
