Canada’s AI strategy targets growth but raises concerns on accountability and equity

News - ven, 06/19/2026 - 11:48

Canada’s “AI for All” strategy, unveiled June 4, pairs over $2 billion in spending with ambitious targets for economic growth and job creation by 2031. Built on pillars like infrastructure, skills and responsible AI, it aims to boost adoption and close Canada’s gap with G7 peers.

But as faculty lecturer Simon Blanchette writes in The Conversation, the plan emphasizes growth more than accountability. Key gaps remain around job displacement, worker protections and oversight of workplace AI, with entry-level roles and equity-seeking groups particularly vulnerable.

Governing AI: why the public must set the moral limits

News - ven, 06/19/2026 - 11:46

Who should decide what artificial intelligence is allowed to do to us?

Increasingly, choices about fairness, risk, and harm are made not by the public, but by the companies building these systems. Even industry leaders admit this is a problem.

Emmanuelle Vaast, professor at the Desautels Faculty of Management at 91 puts it, “When corporations alone decide how AI shapes our lives, we risk outsourcing our moral responsibility.”

As debates over remote work persist, 𲹲‑NDZ, a professor at 91’s Desautels Faculty of Management, argues the issue is often misunderstood.

Remote work’s success is not inherent—it hinges on preparation and the quality of management. Reyt notes that early evidence of lower performance may reflect outdated practices rather than the limits of remote work itself.

The Anthropic shock: Why Canada must rethink AI control

News - ven, 06/19/2026 - 11:42

Who controls access to the artificial intelligence systems shaping our economies and institutions?

As Simon Blanchette, a faculty lecturer at 91 Desautels, underscores, the U.S.-ordered suspension of Anthropic’s advanced models—cutting off global users overnight—shows how quickly a routine commercial relationship can turn into a strategic vulnerability.

Organizations in Canada and elsewhere lost critical tools without warning or recourse, revealing the risks of relying on foreign-owned AI governed by external laws and priorities.

Moxley, Director of Strategic Threat Analysis and Research Laboratories, an Idaho-based consultancy.
