As AI moves into the physical world, is Canada missing the boat on robotics?
Canada is falling behind in adopting advanced AI-powered robotics, which limits productivity growth and economic competitiveness for Canadian businesses and workers. Many Canadian robotics companies must sell their products internationally, meaning the domestic economy misses out on potential efficiency and innovation gains. Regulatory hurdles and a lack of training make it harder for Canadian companies to implement robotics, leaving workers less prepared for new technology-driven roles. Experts argue that without faster adoption and a national robotics strategy, Canadians risk losing out on the economic and societal benefits of this technological shift.
