The marketplace of ideas on AI in Canada and Quebec.
A bilingual publication exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping education, policy, and innovation across Canada. Written from Montreal, edited by the founder of Inquisitive Flow Learning.
AI is transforming classrooms, reshaping provincial policy, and redefining what it means to learn in the 21st century. Yet most of the discourse is American-centric. The Canadian perspective -- bilingual, multicultural, grounded in public education -- is underrepresented.
Agora exists to fill that gap. We cover the intersection of artificial intelligence with education, language, sovereignty, and culture -- from a distinctly Canadian and Quebecois point of view. Who builds the technology that teaches our children? Where does their data live? What policies are shaping the future? These are the questions we ask.
The name comes from the ancient Greek agora -- the public square where citizens gathered to exchange ideas. That is what we aim to be: an open, bilingual space for the ideas that matter.
Ottawa has committed billions to artificial intelligence. But where does the infrastructure live, who owns the models, and what happens when the funding runs out? A look at Canada's national AI strategy and the sovereignty gap no one is talking about.
Quebec has always fought to protect its language. Now, as AI reshapes how language is produced, translated, and consumed, the province faces a new frontier. How Quebec's cultural policies are colliding with the age of generative AI.
Yoshua Bengio built a lab. That lab built an ecosystem. From a single university research group to over 1,200 researchers, Mila is the reason the world pays attention to Montreal. But what does that mean for Canada?
They publish in top conferences, train the next generation, and build tools used worldwide -- all from Quebec. A profile of the researchers whose work is putting the province on the global AI map, and why most Canadians have never heard of them.
Inquisitive Flow Learning is an education technology company founded in Montreal, Quebec. We build pedagogy-aware AI products designed for Canadian educators and learners -- tools that don't just transfer knowledge, but ignite the ability to discover it.
Agora is our editorial arm. Where our products build the future of learning, Agora documents the landscape: the policies, the players, and the ideas that shape AI in Canadian education. It is edited by the company's founder and reflects the same commitment to bilingualism, transparency, and Canadian-first thinking that drives everything we build.
