説明を展開
Pan-Canadian AI Strategy 2.0 launched in June 2022 with CAD $443.8m over ten years (2021-2031). Key allocations: CAD $60m to the three institutes (Mila + Vector + Amii, each up to CAD $20m over five years); CAD $160m to CIFAR for talent retention and AI Chairs continuation; CAD $125m for Canada's Global Innovation Clusters; remaining CAD $98.8m for cross-cutting commercialisation and AI safety. Assessment: 2.0 is roughly 3x the budget of 1.0 in real terms, but the funding model is unchanged — "talent leverage" remains the spine. The 2024 Budget addition of CAD $2.4bn (5x larger than Strategy 2.0) signals a structural shift toward sovereign compute and commercialisation; in retrospect, Strategy 2.0 may be remembered as the last "academic-leverage-only" iteration.
