Opening remarks

On March 31, Sigrid Jin tasked AI agents with replicating Claude's codebase and released it to the world. Now GitHub's fastest growing repository in history, the code library has survived scrutiny and copyright violation claims – but what does it mean to build in a world where everything can be reproduced immediately? Join the person who burned through 25 billion tokens in a year as Sigrid explores the implications of AI on copyright, open source development, and creative work.

Can copyright survive tokenmaxxing?

AI will only realise its promise if nations, institutions, and industries can trust and adopt it at scale. Join Minister Evan Solomon and Cohere’s Chief AI Officer Joelle Pineau for a conversation on Canada’s AI moment, as they explore the role of sovereign AI, homegrown innovation, and responsible deployment in building systems that businesses, governments, and communities can rely on, making the tools of the future accessible, practical, and beneficial for everyone.

The sovereign AI blueprint
