The session gave the incoming MBA, MM and MBAN cohorts twenty-five minutes, a team of four and any AI tool they liked, on one deliberately open question: a wave of AI data centres is being built, so what should it mean for Canada, and for whom? The app and the book below are the same brief answered without a time limit, and they are here so you can see what the tools produce when the research is cheap and the judgement is still yours.
The slides
The session deck: the RHL AI policy, what AI is already used for in your courses, the challenge brief, and the debrief questions.
The interactive app
Every Canadian project on a map, the physics of a megawatt, the provinces side by side, the money, the history of computing's power bill, and a page where you make the call yourself.
The research book
Twelve chapters and nine appendices, read one section at a time in the browser. Every figure is generated from the datasets, and where sources disagree the disagreement is reported rather than resolved.
The book, to print or keep
The same book typeset for Letter paper, with running heads, folios, a contents page and all 534 sources listed in Appendix G.
