Prime Minister Carney launched AI for All, Canada’s new national AI strategy. It’s a moment that Vector, and anyone dedicated to building Canada’s AI future, have been diligently working towards. 

The pressures of global competition in AI are real. The AI for All strategy coordinates all the ingredients Canada already has and best positions us to serve all Canadians. 

As part of this launch, Vector was honored to introduce Prime Minister Carney and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, Evan Solomon to KiwiCharge, Verto Health, and GSTS, some of Vector’s amazing FastLane startup companies. These businesses are helping Canada benefit from the AI transformation. 

The new strategy extends that vision more broadly, helping medium-sized businesses adopt AI to support workers, raise productivity, and drive breakthroughs. 

Vector is particularly heartened to see the establishment of a national AI literacy initiative. Closing that gap is foundational to everything else in this strategy and will ensure that the next generation of Canadians can succeed in the new innovation economy.    

Canada’s National AI Institutes — Mila, Amii and Vector — have a central role to play in bringing that commitment to life. But none of the progress to date would have happened without the trust of our public sector and private sector collaborators 

When Canadians understand, use, and help shape AI, it builds more than a stronger economy. It builds better public services and real, meaningful improvements in people’s lives. That’s the goal that drives our work at Vector every day. 

Vector is proud to have contributed to this strategy. Alongside our partners in universities, industry and government, Vector will keep doing what we do best — advancing the transformative potential of deep learning and making sure Canada captures every opportunity in front of it.

Canada’s AI advantage is real. Let’s build on it.
