In this episode of Hub Dialogues, Rudyard Griffiths, The Hub's publisher, is joined by Kevin Chan, senior director of global policy campaign strategies at Meta, to discuss the acceleration of AI adoption across sectors, Canada's pioneering AI research legacy, and its ongoing struggles with commercialization and productivity. Chan explains why open-source models like Meta's Llama represent a strategic advantage for middle economies like Canada, how hospitals and startups are already leveraging open AI for real-world applications, and the geopolitical implications of a global AI race increasingly shaped by the U.S. and China. They also explore what advice Chan has for Evan Solomon, Canada's newly appointed minister of AI and digital innovation.
