Summary

Canadian businesses’ use of AI doubled to 12.2 per cent in 2025, up from 6.1 per cent in 2024, according to Statistics Canada figures. But a survey presented at a 2026 technology forum in Vancouver found that only 18 per cent of organisations had a formal AI policy, while 67 per cent of employees used unapproved AI tools. The figures point to a gap in oversight as adoption grows.
