Professors Dr. Justin Longo and Dr. Margo Hurlbert from the University of Regina have released a policy paper concerning the forthcoming AI Data Centre near Regina. They argue that the project must ensure equitable benefit-sharing between the data centre and the province of Saskatchewan. The paper outlines critical issues and potential partnership structures, suggesting that collaboration with local institutions like Sask Polytech and the University of Regina could enhance educational opportunities. The provincial government, represented by Minister Jeremy Harrison, estimates the project will generate about $12 billion in economic activity and create over 1,600 jobs, including 800 construction positions and 80 permanent roles. Hurlbert emphasizes the need for ongoing discussions regarding the transition to zero-emission energy sources and the integration of cleaner energy solutions as the project develops. This initiative is seen as one of the largest private capital investments in Saskatchewan's history, promising benefits that extend beyond the construction phase.
