The simple answer to that is to not necessarily use other so-called competitor products that don't belong to Canada. I don't think that's the easiest answer, because it is moving so quickly. Most companies and organizations are already developing and using large language models—now the prominent description of AI.
This goes back to my second response. Canadian companies—some of which are listed as part of this standing committee—need to be supported in order for us to compete. At the moment, it looks like there's a two-horse race between the U.S. and China, in terms of companies developing large language models. The frustrating thing for me is that we are the global centre of AI research: How do we not have a dog in this race?
With these changes, and with deglobalization, there is a golden opportunity for Canada to break its barriers on restriction and truly compete globally, but it's going to need support.
