Summary

A KPMG Canada survey found that 76 per cent of public servants say their organizations’ procurement policies favour Canadian AI products when possible. The survey of 519 public servants also found that 94 per cent see an urgent need to protect Canadian data and intellectual property, while 89 per cent want comprehensive AI rules. KPMG says governments need stronger safeguards and staff training as they expand AI use.
