Summary

Canada has a strong record in AI research and a leading homegrown model company in Cohere, but investment and the number of frontier-model developers remain far below those in the United States. The federal government has announced a Cohere equity investment of up to $1.6 billion, while the company has said it will commit at least $1.7 billion to Canadian computing infrastructure by 2030. Experts cited say domestic AI capacity matters for sensitive data and that training people to use AI is also important.
