Brent is joined by Jeff Davis, Clean Prosperity’s Saskatchewan Director, to discuss the paper’s key findings.

Brian McQuinn, an associate professor at the University of Regina and co-director of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Data and Conflict, joins the show to unpack the trend and how AI continues to improve.
