At the India Today AI Summit 2026, Victor Anthony Fedeli, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, highlighted Ontario’s legacy as the ‘birthplace of AI,’ citing the work of Nobel laureate Dr. Geoffrey Hinton. Fedeli emphasized the province’s robust educational pipeline, noting that Ontario graduates 86,000 STEM students annually and has permanently allocated $750 million to increase this by 20,500. He stated, ‘Toronto, Ontario, Canada is widely considered the birthplace of AI,’ and invited Indian firms to tap into this talent pool. Addressing policy, Fedeli outlined Ontario’s legislative framework focused on transparency and ethical use, stressing the importance of informing the public when and why AI is used. He expressed a strong desire for international collaboration, suggesting that Ontario’s lessons in mitigating AI risks through cybersecurity and transparency could serve as a model for other nations, including India, as they navigate the evolving technological and geopolitical landscape of artificial intelligence.
