National AI Strategy
Canada launches the world's first national AI strategy with $125M in funding.
The Canadian federal government has unveiled a $550 million investment package aimed at revitalizing the nation's research ecosystem and maintaining its competitive edge in emerging technologies. This funding is expected to support high-impact projects across academic institutions and private-sector partnerships, with a significant focus on artificial intelligence and sustainable tech.
