C100

Today's opening session at #ALLIN2024 addressed the central question of where Canada stands in the global AI ecosystem. C100 Executive Director Michael Buhr joined David Skok and JULIEN BILLOT and spoke about Canada's place in the AI ecosystem, assigning grades across talent, investment and commercialization, the implications of Canada's risk "Catch-22", and what Canada needs to do to play a global role.
