In my role as president of Ontario’s Treasury Board, I am often reminded of a line my father liked to repeat: “Leadership is the capacity to look around the corner of history, just a little bit.” What lies around that corner today is the most significant technological revolution of our time: artificial intelligence, or AI.

As a central agency of the provincial government, the Treasury Board’s role can sometimes be underestimated. Yet along with my colleague Todd McCarthy, the minister of public and business service delivery and procurement, we are preparing Ontario for the AI revolution that is at our doorstep.
