The Canadian government announced on September 24, 2025, the creation of a special task force to develop a "second phase" of its national artificial intelligence strategy. Canada was one of the first countries to adopt such a strategy back in 2017, but it focused mainly on fundamental research and talent attraction. The new task force, which will include experts from industry, academia, and government, has been mandated to develop recommendations on new priorities. Key areas of focus include: stimulating the commercialization of AI developments, implementing national standards for safety and ethics, developing computing infrastructure, and ensuring the countrys technological sovereignty. This move, as reported by The Logic, is intended to adapt Canadas policy to the era of generative AI and strengthen its competitiveness on the global stage.
