This system uses artificial intelligence to automatically rank, detect topics in, and summarize licensed news articles from media monitoring feeds, helping Government of Canada employees identify the most important stories of the day. It processes only the text and metadata of news articles — no personal information is involved. The system is currently in a pilot phase, developed in partnership with NewsDesk and the National Research Council's AI Accelerator, and its outputs are advisory recommendations for analysts rather than binding decisions.
