Canada may reach its AI adoption target and still miss its promised productivity gains. Delivering those gains will require deep adoption by large firms, supported by regulatory certainty and stronger tax treatment for AI deployment.

Building factories is not the same as achieving lasting industrial strength. Korea should design its “Three Megaprojects” as reference factories that give suppliers the testing, qualification, and commercial track records needed to win customers around the world.

Canada’s new AI strategy sets the right goal but focuses on the wrong problem: lowering costs when most firms struggle to identify valuable uses for AI. Ottawa should help businesses find and implement the right tools, not simply subsidize their purchase.

Chinese EV exports have boomed amid increasing global gas prices, with demand rising 120 percent in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year.

Facial recognition has legitimate workplace uses, including identity verification and safety, that blanket restrictions could undermine. Policymakers should regulate how employers use biometric data rather than restrict the technologies that collect it.

Major agreements, new participants, and key diplomatic and industrial milestones in the U.S.-led Pax Silica initiative, which aims to secure global supply chains that underpin AI and other advanced technologies.

China is not only investing more in innovation but also becoming better at turning those investments into technologies with commercial potential. To maintain its technological leadership, the United States should strengthen its entire innovation pipeline, from research to commercialization.
