Best case
YESAI
Assume the projects are well sited, impacts are controlled, promises are enforceable and Canada captures a meaningful share of the benefit.

Three ways AI could go
These pages are thought experiments, not predictions. YESAI asks what happens if the industry gets almost everything right. NOAI asks what happens if the safeguards fail. FUTUREAI looks at the harder middle case: AI works, productivity rises, and society still has to deal with the economic transition.
Managed transition
FUTUREAI
Assume AI keeps improving and some work needs fewer people. What policies let us keep the productivity without breaking the income system that depends on wages?
Explore FUTUREAI →Worst case
NOAI
Assume poor siting, weak promises, socialized costs, more surveillance and faster labour displacement. Follow those risks to the ugly end.

The scenario pages are deliberately exaggerated in different directions. They are useful for asking “what if?” They are not evidence that any particular project will produce that outcome.
