Surrounding words

… entities could access Canadian data, deploy AI products that shape Canadian lives without reflecting our values, and tilt the playing field against Canadian firms while Canada lacks the leverage to push back or the ability to control. It also creates the risk that, as with other forms of integration – from financial payments to supply chains – AI could be weaponised against us. To ensure AI benefits every Canadian, we need an approach that reaches every Canadian.

What this quote does not say

  • The antecedent of 'It' is Canada's dependence on foreign suppliers for compute, cloud, and data storage, which Carney says could expose Canadian data, values, firms, and policy leverage.
  • The rest of the speech emphasizes AI's economic, medical, educational, and productivity benefits while proposing Canadian control, safeguards, and adoption; this is a sovereignty risk within a broadly pro-adoption strategy.
