By
Jaxson Khan, Sean Mullin
Summary
This opinion piece by Jaxson Khan and Sean Mullin argues that Canada has fallen behind in the global AI race and needs a new, urgent national strategy to catch up. The authors highlight that AI is advancing rapidly—from simple chatbots to autonomous agents capable of sustained work—and that Canada's current approach is insufficient. They draw on their report "Sovereign by Design" to advocate for determined implementation and continuous adaptation to new challenges, emphasizing that success depends on both execution and responsiveness to evolving developments in the AI landscape.
