“I want the House to recognize Patrick Chenel for his work on artificial intelligence. His book reminds us that Canada's AI strategy should focus on people.”
“Mr. Speaker, people are coming out of the woodwork every day claiming to be AI experts. Some have contacted me, others have tried to meet with me and, recently, someone insisted that I read his book. I thought to myself, “Oh no, not another one!” I decided to take his advice anyway and read his book. Well, I followed his advice. The book showcases the extraordinary work of local entrepreneur Patrick Chenel, co-founder of ConqrAI and an AI strategy specialist with over 30 years of experience working with Quebec’s biggest companies. In his book AI‑Driven Enterprise, he proposes a concrete framework that focuses on three key dimensions: knowledge management, knowledge sovereignty and human-centred AI governance. At a time when Canada is adopting an AI strategy, that kind of thinking needs to be highlighted. It reminds us that AI must also be human-centred. I call on the House to recognize Mr. Chenel’s contribution to the public debate on AI and to encourage dialogue among the political, business and innovation communities.”
