Canadian Prime Minister Carney Establishes National AI Committee

On October 2, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the establishment of the Prime Minister's National Artificial Intelligence Committee in Ottawa, aimed at providing independent and pragmatic advice for Canada's AI transformation. The committee will bring together stakeholders from the public and private sectors to offer insights on the evolution of the AI for All national strategy, covering areas such as accelerating adoption, nurturing national leading enterprises, building sovereign AI infrastructure, enhancing AI safety, protecting democracy, and ensuring benefits for all Canadians. Committee members include Ajay Agrawal, Yoshua Bengio, Sanja Fidler, John Graham, Gillian Hadfield, Jordan Jacobs, Eric Lamarre, Valérie Pisano, Senator Thomas Pitfield, Jody Thomas, Louis Vachon, Michelle Zatlyn, and Patrick Pichette. The committee will be supported by a small team from the Privy Council Office, while policy decisions and implementation will remain the responsibility of the relevant ministers and departments. Carney stated that the prosperity and sovereignty in the age of AI belong to nations that can build, adopt, and govern AI according to their own conditions, and the committee will provide recommendations on how to manage risks, seize opportunities, and improve the lives of all Canadians.
