Frank Giustra

I am Frank Giustra and this is my personal Blog, where I share with you some of the lessons I have learnt in life, books I have read, and my thoughts and opinions on current affairs, geopolitics, macro economic trends and finance. I also provide insights from fascinating people I have met, and adventures I have had. It is also a place for me to share stories about my passion for food, as well as news from some of the incredible initiatives my philanthropic foundations are working on.

I have been lucky enough to have a long and expansive career. I grew up as the son of Italian immigrants who moved to Canada before I was born, and started my career in the investment banking sector before realizing my entrepreneurial spirit and founding various companies including Lionsgate Entertainment. I'm CEO of the Fiore Group, a firm that has launched many companies in the resource sector.

A good deal of my time and resources now goes into supporting charities within both my international and domestic charity foundations as well as organizations I have co-founded.

      Time to Rein in AI?

      ​​​​​​​Imagine inventing a tool so advanced that it starts figuring out ways to protect its own existence without anyone teaching it to do so. This is no longer a plot from a science fiction movie. In mid-2026, this is the reality emerging from the world’s leading artificial intelligence laboratories. We’re creating systems that are beginning to act strategically, and society is struggling to keep up.
