Canada needs to stop using American platforms. We could start with a Canadian government owned app store. Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook - the sanctions on Russia forced it to make their own Amazon (Wildberries), to use Linux, to create VK.com and Yandex instead of Google. This means they are not constantly paying rent to America as we Canadians do. China also banned US platforms. The longer it takes Canada and the EU to do this, the more unlikely we will have any form of self-determiniation.
AI isn't easy, depending upon your underlying data sources and systems etc...We were implementing AI at my last workplace (OAG auditing). Everything was so old and rusted-unstructured data (excel spread sheets), very old document repository system, etc... Garbage in Garbage out the motto. Need clean data
USA just dumped a lotta money into the economy and raised that debt ceiling, again. So, grab that cash while you can! I would love to know the equation to debt velocity of money - its all debt now and debt without ROI/value cash in the empties for the party had. There better be some ROI/value who pays the bar tab?

"Evan Solomon, the federal Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation" hey wait a second wasn't he fired from CBC which is probably a rare thing to have happen - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/evan-solomon-fired-by-cbc-news-in-wake-of-alleged-secret-art-deals-1.3106983 isn't the art world a perfect place for money laundering? https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/29/business/art-money-laundering-sanctions-senate https://www.artandobject.com/news/how-money-laundering-works-art-world canada fell victim to that scandal https://www.tvo.org/video/forgery-morrisseau-and-indigenous-art etc...
I suspect we'll have another high tech boom, I can smell it from miles away (ref https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/dotcon/ https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/wallstreet/ ) I used to work for SHL systemhouse (great company) which got bought up by MCI/EDS (ok companies) to just down right nasty https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/worldcom.asp it was all about greed (ref https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolution-of-the-self/201210/greed-the-ultimate-addiction https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/shame/201510/why-narcissism-greed-and-power-go-hand-in-hand ) and the almighty buck. Quick buck money making machines die hard and fast typically. As we would throw our clients (including defense) under the bus using powerful lobby groups, lawyers and media might.
Reports say that around 70-80% of AI projects fail (ref https://www.pmi.org/blog/why-most-ai-projects-fail )
this is pretty funny - https://www.hrkatha.com/news/ibm-rehires-after-ai-driven-layoffs-backfire-sparks-debate-on-automation-limits/ esp in that IBM has so many papers on AI eg https://www.ibm.com/think/insights/artificial-intelligence-implementation https://www.ibm.com/think/insights/ai-adoption-challenges.
