Juno News - Mark Carney releases pathetic woke AI national strategy

00:00:00.000 Most politicians in Canada have been afraid, it seems, to question Canada's AI future,

00:00:06.720 to not be the ultimate AI booster, the AI maxer.

00:00:11.360 Wab Kanu, the premier of Manitoba, who I certainly don't agree with all the time,

00:00:15.900 had a pretty strong statement against the development of an AI data center in the province of Manitoba.

00:00:22.960 Take a listen to this response.

00:00:24.140 We're not going to move ahead with the data center in Ilmashane

00:00:27.080 because there's a big threat to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.

00:00:32.620 I reject the idea that we have to be slaves to surveillance capitalism

00:00:38.420 in order to participate in the modern economy.

00:00:42.600 And so the message to any company out there should be,

00:00:46.980 if you want to have a thoughtful, human-centered approach to technology,

00:00:51.700 come to Manitoba because that's what we're interested in.

00:00:54.240 According to Stats Canada and republished by the BBC, 36% of Canadians believe that AI is harmful.

00:01:01.940 Half of Canadians regard AI as a threat.

00:01:05.420 In the AI strategy, the government is planning to roll out large-scale AI literacy training for all Canadians.

00:01:12.720 You can learn from the machines that will eventually replace you and reshape your entire world.

00:01:18.860 I'm sure there will be lots of adoption for that.
