Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing patterns, understanding language, making decisions, or learning from experience. Governments are increasingly using AI for tasks like processing applications, detecting fraud, predicting service demands, and automating routine decisions. However, AI raises important policy questions: algorithms can perpetuate biases present in their training data, automated decisions may lack transparency, and AI could displace government workers. Canada has a national AI strategy and is developing frameworks for responsible AI use in government. The Treasury Board has issued a directive on automated decision-making to ensure AI used in federal services is fair, transparent, and accountable.
