What is AI and is Canada ready for it?

Artificial intelligence means different things to different people. As an amorphous set of technologies deployed in countless applications, AI is tricky to understand, regulate, and integrate into our social and economic lives. This is especially true when conversations about it, even among experts, may be premised on misunderstandings – or multiple understandings – of the thing itself. And yet, AI, broadly understood, is already shaping how we do business, how and whether we employ people, how we communicate, and plenty more.
