The Government of Canada has launched a public AI register to track the use and testing of over 400 AI systems across 42 departments. This initiative aims to increase transparency in AI activities within the federal service. The registry is part of Canada’s federal AI strategy, providing details on each AI system, including its purpose, the department using it, and its developer. The registry highlights notable AI projects, excluding low-risk applications. With a commitment to responsible AI use, the registry will be updated based on public feedback. Arvind Gupta from the University of Toronto suggests this could lead to a procurement strategy encouraging small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in government AI projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
