Owning the AI Century
Succinct article from Canadian Business on how we can build sustainable leadership in Artificial Intelligence and its related businesses. Two of the four recommendations underline the importance of the international dimension:

2) Canadian companies active in AI must think globally from their gestation. They need to be aware of what is going on in the rest of world, incorporate the best people and practices where possible, then make a real effort to scale up to become the acknowledged leader in that business or niche. As with a lot of tech-rich businesses, AI will provide many companies with first-mover advantages.
