Canada: Technology

AI is everywhere. It’s being tested, approved, and rolled out across organizations. Inaccurate and hallucinated outputs continue to surface, and legal and professional consequences make headlines. Earlier this year, the Georgia Supreme Court suspended a prosecutor after AI-generated fake citations appeared in a court filing, leading the court to vacate the ruling entirely.

Ontario's proposed Data Centre Playbook establishes a two-part assessment framework for grid connections, requiring data centres to fund full electricity costs while meeting strategic priorities around economic development, digital sovereignty, and community investment. The policy positions grid access as a key lever for governing data centre development amid surging demand that could reach 40% of the province's peak electricity capacity.

Depuis le lancement de ChatGPT d’OpenAI à la fin de 2022, l’intelligence artificielle (IA) est rapidement passée d’une technologie faisant l’objet de projets pilotes expérimentaux à un levier opérationnel essentiel pour de nombreuses sociétés ouvertes.

The US Department of Commerce’s recent imposition in mid-June of an export licensing requirement (since lifted at end of June for select US entities) on exports, reexports, and in-country transfers of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5 Model and Claude Fable 5 Model to all destinations worldwide and to “all foreign persons” is a stark reminder of how export controls may go beyond the control of physical goods and also apply to intangible goods such as software, AI models, or technology transfers in the cloud. More recent news about AI models going rogue and a proposed bipartisan “AI Kill Switch” bill introduced by two US congressmen foreshadow additional controls in the near future.

The new brand reflects the company’s evolution beyond translation toward broader adaptive AI solutions for high-stakes communication. As enterprise AI rapidly transforms the way organizations operate, high-profile examples of hallucinated outputs and context failures are reshaping expectations around what enterprise AI must deliver.

Free tokens are rarely free of tax consequences. Airdrops, staking rewards, yield-farming distributions and DAO compensation all arrive in a crypto wallet without a purchase, which makes them easy to overlook at filing time, and difficult to characterize when they are not overlooked.

The Canada Revenue Agency’s access to information about cryptocurrency and other crypto-assets is entering a new phase. Canadian taxpayers have always been responsible for identifying, valuing, classifying, and reporting taxable crypto activity, even where an exchange issued no Canadian tax slip, the transaction occurred through a foreign platform, or the assets were never converted into Canadian dollars. 

The Canada Revenue Agency’s (“CRA”) authority to conduct a cryptocurrency tax audit begins with subsection 231.1(1) of the Income Tax Act. It gives authorized CRA officials broad powers to inspect or examine relevant documents, records, property, processes, and other matters, and to require reasonable assistance and proper oral or written answers.
