Canada pushes sovereign open AI

A new coalition between Mozilla and Mila signals a Canada‑led push to develop 'sovereign' open‑source AI focused on transparency, data locality, and privacy rather than raw closed‑model scale. The effort emphasizes features like private agent memory and aims to offer governments and developers an auditable alternative to Big Tech stacks. — If successful, a country‑anchored open AI initiative could reshape procurement choices, data‑sovereignty debates, and the balance between public trust and private investment in frontier models.
