Canada鈥檚 鈥淎I for All鈥� strategy, unveiled June 4, pairs over $2 billion in spending with ambitious targets for economic growth and job creation by 2031. Built on pillars like infrastructure,听skills听and responsible AI, it aims to boost adoption and close Canada鈥檚 gap with G7 peers.

But as听faculty听lecturer听Simon Blanchette writes in听The Conversation, the plan emphasizes growth more than accountability. Key gaps听remain听around job displacement, worker听protections听and oversight of workplace AI, with entry-level roles and equity-seeking groups particularly vulnerable.

Organizations in Canada and elsewhere lost critical tools without warning or recourse, revealing the risks of relying on foreign-owned AI governed by external laws and priorities.

Researchers have uncovered and digitized nearly two million 18th and 19th century weather observations from across Canada that offer new insights into how the country鈥檚 climate has changed over time.

The international project draws on handwritten records dating from 1768 to 1884. The data include temperature, precipitation, wind and detailed descriptions of such events as storms and floods.

What makes a speaker engaging? Both what is said and how it is said matter, but in different, complementary ways, a new study conducted at the 麻豆社 School of Communication Sciences and Disorders has found.

When people try to sound 鈥渆ngaging,鈥� they tend to speak more loudly and in a higher pitch, and this can lead listeners to evaluate them more positively, the researchers said. However, the study also reveals that the listener鈥檚 desire to extend a conversation depends mainly on interest in what the speaker has to say.
