These missions offer Canadian businesses direct access to policymakers and industry leaders, allowing them to tackle key issues head-on and seize new opportunities for growth.

Artificial Intelligence | September 16-17, 2024
On September 16-17, in New York City, we hosted unique engagements on the future of AI with North American business and political leaders.
As we enter the last stretch of 2024, AI is at the forefront of every meaningful policy discussion across all jurisdictions, both regionally and globally. Whether the conversation pertains to business adoption, trust, productivity, national security, workforce, online safety or energy use, AI is playing an increasingly prominent role. As Canada takes on the G7 presidency in 2025, AI and all its facets are poised to be dominant topics among leading economies.

Yet, for organizations doing business in Canada, the future of regulation remains somewhat uncertain as the AI Act (AIDA) slowly makes its way through Parliament. Meanwhile, AI technologies continue to evolve rapidly, with other countries advancing on different regulatory paths.
That’s why the Canadian Chamber – in partnership with the Consulate General of Canada in New York and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – is convening government officials, policy experts and business leaders from both the U.S. and Canada to explore AI trends, challenges and opportunities within the broader U.S.-Canada relationship, and offer recommendations on how Canada can leverage the G7 presidency to accelerate its economic growth through increased AI adoption.
