Help shape the future of AI in British Columbia.
We’re collecting stories, hopes, concerns, and ideas from across BC to guide how we build a thriving, trusted, made-in-BC AI ecosystem — and the institutions we need to support it.

This survey maps how British Columbians — especially leaders, workers, and innovators — feel about AI’s role in our economy, communities, and future.

Hidden in that raw waveform is the next chapter of BC’s AI story—written by students, aunties, coders, land protectors, and kitchen-table inventors. Your mission: remix those signals into prototypes, proofs-of-concept, and provocations that make our collective future tangible.
