Fenwick McKelvey joins the podcast to break down how Canada’s AI strategy was built on coverage that never questioned it, and why the gap between what the government promised and what actually arrived is bigger than anyone wants to admit. We also get into what happens when a country outsources its AI policy to the companies it should be regulating, and what it means for anyone who thinks a national strategy is the same thing as a national plan.

Ayush Prakash Author, Podcaster

I'm Ayush Prakash, an author, podcaster, and Creative Director at New Sapience, an AI company developing foundational machine intelligence. I host the Gen Z Diplomat podcast, where I explore how Technology, culture, and society are reshaping human experience—especially for my generation. My latest book, AI for Gen Z, is a deep dive into how Artificial Intelligence is rewiring our minds, Relationships, and reality. I’m passionate about making complex ideas accessible, challenging conventional narratives, and helping others think more critically in a noisy, digital world. Outside of work, I’m fascinated by philosophy, old and contemporary architecture, and meaningful conversations that go off-script.
