Vanessa Lloyd, CSIS deputy director of operations, warned that hostile state actors are increasingly using artificial intelligence to meddle in elections. The People's Republic of China is considered a likely culprit, given its recent actions such as imposing tariffs on Canadian agricultural products and executing four Canadian citizens on drug smuggling charges. Canada has also expelled Indian diplomats over allegations of involvement in a plot against Sikh separatists. Lloyd cautioned that Russia and Pakistan could also conduct foreign interference activities against Canada, potentially eroding public trust in the country's democratic processes.

He attributes this to Washington's semiconductor sanctions, which forced Chinese firms to innovate under constraints. Despite being late to the generative AI market, China's tech sector has quickly developed its own capabilities, including DeepSeek, which recently released an upgraded AI model that shows users their reasoning process before delivering answers, a feature first developed by OpenAI.

The significant price stability and lack of bankruptcies indicate growing sophistication in financial infrastructure protecting computing services from price shocks. This development has revived interest in futures markets for computing services, a concept that has been pursued since 1989.
