Warning raised that AI could target Canadian agriculture

A warning circulating among Canadian readers argues the country should pursue energy self-sufficiency because artificial intelligence could be used to attack critical farming infrastructure. Without fuel pumps, livestock ventilation, food refrigeration, irrigation, grain drying and fertilizer production, the food system would collapse rapidly, the warning says. Supporters see it as a national security argument for domestic energy capacity; the claim of an AI-driven attack vector remains speculative.
Why now: Concerns about AI-enabled attacks on critical infrastructure are fuelling debate over energy independence.
