- Canada faces an economic imperative to improve productivity by addressing a widespread AI literacy gap, according to Cam Linke, CEO of the Edmonton-based Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii). Linke said that Canadian companies are missing competitive advantages due to a lack of understanding about AI. To counter this, Amii has scaled efforts to provide accessible AI knowledge through platforms like “AI Literacy for Everyone,” training over 250,000 learners. Joan Hertz, Amii’s board chair, warns that inaction on AI poses a significant governance risk for businesses.

Sort of reminds me of someone else who used to play a billionaire on TV - obnoxious, opinionated and convinced he is so smart . At least the only boating accidents the other one has has is from showboating.

A regulator’s rejection of a bid to build Canada’s largest AI data centre in Olds is being greeted cautiously by its foes.On Friday, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) issued a ruling nixing Synapse Real Estate Corp.’s application to construct a 1,400-megawatt data centre in the town of 10,000 people 90 kilometres north of Calgary.
The $10-billion investment plan has drawn concerns from some in the community over excessive noise, water use, environmental impacts and transparency.
Olds facility fell through.
