We’re supporting Canadian small and medium-sized businesses (SME) in adopting artificial intelligence (AI)! Today, the Government of Canada launched two new programs to help SMEs implement AI technologies, boosting productivity and innovation: • The Regional Artificial Intelligence Initiative (RAII) will help SMEs and organizations in key regional sectors adopt AI and bring new technologies to market. • The AI Assist Program will support Canadian SMEs that are building or incorporating generative AI and deep learning solutions into their core activities. These programs—part of the package of initiatives announced in Budget 2024—will be key drivers of AI adoption, ensuring Canadian businesses remain competitive on the global stage.
