A new national AI strategy puts sovereignty front and centre as Canada moves to reduce its dependence on foreign cloud and AI providers.
On Wednesday, the European Commission launched its
Technological Sovereignty Package
, introducing new legislation to loosen the grip of US Big Tech on European cloud and AI infrastructure. Now Canada has followed suit with its own ‘AI for All’ strategy, built around six pillars and with the explicit goal of ensuring Canadians can “adopt, build and govern AI on their own terms”.
“We will strengthen Canadian sovereignty at a time when it is being deeply challenged,” the strategy states, in a clear reference to tense relations with its neighbours under the Trump administration.
“Too much Canadian innovation is captured and scaled elsewhere,” the strategy reads. “In an era where prosperity, resilience and sovereignty increasingly depend on the ability to build and govern AI on national terms, these are vulnerabilities Canada cannot leave unaddressed.”
The strategy, published yesterday (4 June), points to some of those “vulnerabilities” that Canada needs to address. Sovereign compute capacity is described as “nascent”, with Canadian organisations remaining heavily reliant on foreign providers for the infrastructure underpinning economic, scientific and public-sector activity.
GPU chip fabrication sits “almost entirely offshore”, and only 12pc of Canadian businesses currently use AI – well behind Nordic counterparts, the strategy claims, where adoption runs between 29 and 42pc. The strategy’s six pillars cover:
safety and democracy protections
AI skills and literacy for all Canadians
accelerated adoption across the economy
building sovereign compute infrastructure
scaling Canadian AI champions
forging trusted international allian
