The new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, took an important step towards the country’s technological modernization by appointing Evan Solomon as the artificial intelligence prime minister.
The decision marks a milestone in the federal government strategy to position itself as a leader in the development and responsible use of this emerging technology.
Solomon, renowned journalist and television presenter, will be in charge of a portfolio that seeks to face the economic, legal and security challenges that raises the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence.
From his campaign, Carney pointed out the need for a specific public policy in this area, and therefore the representatives of the technological and innovative sector received their decision.
The Plan includes the creation of new data centers, the expansion of research institutes and the implementation of tax incentives so that small and medium enterprises adopt solutions based on AI. All this, with the aim of marketing the knowledge generated and protecting Canadian intellectual property.
Canada is a power in artificial intelligence research, but so far he had not managed to fully capitalize his potential. With this new strategy, the government seeks to change that trend and consolidate the country as a global reference in the field.
