The federal government is ensuring that workers whose jobs may be disrupted by the continuing rise of artificial intelligence will be equipped with the skills they need to be able to adapt.
Under Budget 2024, Ottawa is investing $50 million over four years to provide skills training for workers in sectors disrupted by AI.
“There is a significant transformation of the economy and society on the horizon around artificial intelligence,” said Joel Blit, an associate professor of economics at the University of Waterloo, in a CTV News report.
