Its mandate includes accelerating adoption, supporting Canadian AI companies, building sovereign infrastructure, improving AI safety, and protecting the country\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its members cover a wide swath of academics, researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, public servants, and international experts, including:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ajay Agrawal, economist and professor at the University of Toronto\u2019s Rotman School of Management<\/li>\n<li>Yoshua Bengio, professor at Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, co-president and scientific director of LawZero and founder and scientific advisor of Mila<\/li>\n<li>Sanja Fidler, CEO of Veeda AI<\/li>\n<li>John Graham, president and CEO of CPP Investments\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Gillian Hadfield, professor at Johns Hopkins University and faculty member at the Vector Institute<\/li>\n<li>Jordan Jacobs, managing partner and co-founder of Radical Ventures<\/li>\n<li>Eric Lamarre, senior advisor at McKinsey &amp; Company\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Val\u00e9rie Pisano, president and CEO of Mila<\/li>\n<li>Sen. Thomas Pitfield, founder and former CEO of Canadian tech firm Data Sciences<\/li>\n<li>Jody Thomas, former national security and intelligence advisor to the prime minister<\/li>\n<li>Louis Vachon, chair of BCE and Bell Canada and former CEO of National Bank of Canada<\/li>\n<li>Michelle Zatlyn, co-founder and president of Cloudflare<\/li>\n<li>Patrick Pichette (ex officio), CEO of Digital Transformation Canada<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government says the council will provide independent, practical and timely expert advice. A small team inside the Privy Council Office will support it, and responsible ministers and departments remain accountable for policy decisions and implementation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cProsperity and sovereignty in the age of AI belong to nations that can build, adopt, and govern AI on their own terms,\u201d Carney said in a statement. \u201cThe new National Council on Artificial Intelligence will inform and advise the government on how to most effectively deploy AI in Canada \u2014 how to manage the risks, seize the opportunities, and ensure AI is used to improve the lives of all Canadians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The council\u2019s brief reaches into economic competitiveness, AI adoption, government transformation, talent, research and sovereign infrastructure, all areas that could shape how organizations plan, buy and deploy the technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement doesn\u2019t say when the group will meet, when it will deliver recommendations, or whether those recommendations will be made public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carney\u2019s AI for All strategy targets an additional $200 billion in economic growth and 250,000 new AI-related jobs over five years. The government also wants AI adoption to rise from just over 12% to 60% by 2034, and says the strategy will provide up to 90,000 AI-related jobs and work placements for young Canadians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September, Carney also launched Digital Transformation Canada, a new federal organization tasked with modernizing government services and using federal purchasing power to help Canadian digital and AI companies commercialize their technology.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-final-shots\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final shots<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ottawa hasn\u2019t said when the council will report or whether its recommendations will be public. Watch for the first sign of how visible its advice will be outside government.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSovereign infrastructure\u201d is now part of the council\u2019s brief, but the release doesn\u2019t define what that means in practice. Where AI runs, where data sits, and how Ottawa thinks about suppliers are the details to watch.<\/li>\n<li>AI for All aims to move adoption from just over 12% to 60% by 2034. The council\u2019s recommendations should show what Ottawa thinks needs to happen between those two numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
