‘There’s a lot of work to do to increase national AI readiness and Canadians’ understanding of and trust in AI’
With all the talk about the surge of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption across, many Canadians do not know much about it.
More than two in five (43%) of Canadians say they know very little or nothing about the topic, reports TECHNATION.
“While AI adoption is surging globally, Canada is experiencing a lag in industry adoption. There’s a lot of work to do to increase national AI readiness and Canadians’ understanding of and trust in AI,” says Angela Mondou, president and CEO of TECHNATION. “Canadians want investment in AI and are calling on government and businesses to work together to ensure workers are trained and prepared for the future. Canadians also clearly see the benefits of AI as long as there’s responsible (agile) regulation.”
Just over a third (34%) of workers say their organizations have assigned persons responsible for equipping them for AI use, according to a previous Gallagher report.
