This dataset contains full-text extracts from official Canadian and U.S. federal government documents focused on AI, digital government, policy, strategy, legislation, and evaluation.
Why this matters for sovereign AI
Most public training data is dominated by commercial web content. This corpus provides clean, attributable, public-sector text from the two largest North American governments — valuable for:
- Continued pretraining of North American sovereign models
- Domain adaptation for government, policy, and regulated industries
- Reducing reliance on foreign commercial data
- Building models that better understand Canadian and U.S. public institutions and bilingual (EN/FR) context
Current Contents (seed)
- AI Strategy for the Federal Public Service 2025-2027 (Canada)
- Driving Efficient Acquisition of Artificial Intelligence in Government (U.S.)
- Additional high-value policy, strategy, and evaluation documents (expanding rapidly)
All text is extracted directly from official government sources with clear provenance.

Limitations
- Currently seed-scale (will grow significantly)
- Text extraction quality varies by document format
- Focused on AI/digital government/policy — not general web data
This is the foundation for serious North American sovereign AI training data.
