Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as the software engine that drives the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a technological force affecting all disciplines, economies, and industries. To this end, various governments have embarked on the path to formulate and/or implement a national strategy for AI, starting with Canada in 2017.

The framework aims to guide governments that are yet to develop a national strategy for AI or which are in the process of developing such a strategy.

The framework will help the teams responsible for developing the national strategy to ask the right questions, follow the best practices, identify and involve the right stakeholders in the process and create the right set of outcome indicators. Essentially, the framework provides a way to create a “minimum viable” AI strategy for a nation.
