Summary
Two Canadian AI leaders argue that Canada must give local companies and researchers better access to computing power, not just attract large data centres, to turn its research and talent into businesses and jobs. They say Meta’s planned $13-billion Alberta facility will serve Meta’s AI work and is not guaranteed to provide capacity for Canadian users. The federal government’s Responsible Data Centre Development Principles call for projects to offer Canadians benefits such as access to computing power and jobs.
