    We have zero PhDs in Parliament, 7% STEM degrees. No one understands AI so any strategy will be written by lobbyists.

      We don’t have them in parliament, but we do have them. I’m not a big fan of Evan Solomon as the minister of AI, but the AI advisory council has some people who are very knowledgeable and have been deep in the AI space for years. So, there is ready access to great knowledge and intelligence. That said, Solomon’s approach is very market-driven and focused on entrepreneurship and business growth, and that’s no-doubt why he’s in the roll. The approach from the top of government down has been to go market-driven.
