The share of Canadian organizations that reported using AI to create goods and services in the past 12 months has doubled from 6.1 per cent in May 2024 to 12.2 per cent in May 2025, according to Statistics Canada's Canadian Survey of Business Conditions.

The 2025 survey of  21,357 Canadian businesses and non-profits also shows AI adoption is more likely to reduce rather than increase staffing levels, particularly in the health-care and social assistance fields.
