We explore the KPMG survey findings, highlighting the significant gap in AI adoption between Canadian and U.S. companies, and discuss the potential implications for Canadian businesses. We also touch on Canadian companies' challenges in implementing AI, including a lack of skilled talent and quality data, and consider possible solutions to bridge the AI gap.
