説明を展開
Canada's AI investment trajectory tells the "first-mover plus catch-up" story: (1) CAD $125m initial Pan-Canadian AI Strategy (2017); (2) CAD $443.8m Phase 2 over ten years (2022); (3) Budget 2024's CAD $2.4bn ecosystem investment, with CAD $2bn earmarked for sovereign compute. Cumulative public commitment: roughly CAD $3bn through 2030. Assessment: Canada's per-decade public AI commitment is comparable to Singapore's S$2bn+ AI Strategy 2.0 — which is striking given Canada's GDP is roughly 8x Singapore's. The under-spending reflects Canada's bet on "academic talent leverage" rather than "government-as-AI-customer" — the 2024 sovereign compute pivot is the first major correction.
