This insights and signals report discusses the Foresight on AI report recently released by Policy Horizons Canada, as well as reports from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (the National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026) and the AI Safety Institute (the International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI, also known as the International AI Safety Report). It also shares some AI and cybersecurity related news from Global Affairs Canada, the National Cybersecurity Consortium, and the University of New Brunswick—which is set to receive $10 million dollars over the next five years in order to establish the Cyber Attribution Data Centre.

A number of the reports and news items included provide a wide array of information, enthusiasms, concerns and admonishments with respect to the state of AI in Canada and globally; the intent of this report is to extract and synthesize the safety and cybersecurity implications across all items.
