flag Canada’s AI task force, criticized for industry dominance and lack of social experts, faces scrutiny ahead of a national strategy update.

flag Canada’s new AI task force, launched by Minister Evan Solomon to shape a national AI strategy within 30 days, faces criticism for being dominated by industry representatives from companies like Cohere, RBC, and CGI. flag Experts, including law and economics professors, say the 27-member group lacks sufficient input from social scientists, labor, and environmental experts, raising concerns about oversight of AI’s societal, ethical, and workforce impacts. flag Despite Canada’s strong research output and a $2.4-billion AI investment, the country ranks low in AI adoption among OECD nations. flag Critics urge greater focus on AI literacy, public education, and inclusive policymaking, while the government continues a public consultation ahead of its 2025 strategy update.
