Canada ranks 44th of 47 in AI literacy, launches free national AI training

The author highlights a striking paradox: Canada pioneered modern AI, yet ranks 44th out of 47 countries in AI literacy—"we built the engine, then let the car drive away." In response, the Canadian government, together with Amii, is launching free national AI training.
He argues the real barrier was never capability but risk-aversion, intimidation and workplace stigma; free, trusted access to learning is how the country closes the adoption gap.
