[gentle music] The release of the government's AI strategy has sparked a wide range of reactions and a flurry of additional legislative initiatives.
This past week saw the release of the Safer Social Media Act, which includes some AI chatbot regulation and will definitely be addressed in future episodes.
As this podcast drops, there are also plans to release privacy reform in the coming days.
Now, while the legislative side is being fleshed out, the debate over the broader strategy remains, both on whether it features sufficient safeguards and enough ambition.
To address the latter issue, I'm joined this week by Lucy Hargreaves, the co-founder and CEO of Build Canada, which describes itself as a nonpartisan civic movement that connects, equips, and amplifies high-agency builders, founders, creators, and innovators who believe Canada can and should be the most prosperous country on Earth.
The organization has been both vocal and influential in developing the AI strategy, and Lucy has some valuable insights into the government's approach.
She joins to assess the strategy, some of the remaining challenges, and how Canada can, in her words, work to build AI companies the world can't live without.
