Attracting and Retaining Talent in the AI Space

Attracting and Retaining Talent in the AI Space. In this video Steven Scott and Marc Aflalo are joined by Michael Hainsworth to discuss the $2.5B allocated to AI by the Canadian Government. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has allocated $2.4 billion in the upcoming budget for artificial intelligence (AI) development. The aim is to help companies adopt AI in a way that has a positive impact for everyone. However, the definition and capabilities of AI are still being explored. Canada is home to key players in the AI space, and the funding will help solidify its position as a leader. The challenge is to attract and retain talent, as the tax situation in Canada can deter tech professionals. The funding should also address the need for regulation and safety measures in AI development.
