This system automatically scans agricultural trade publications and news feeds from countries that export food to Canada, looking for newly authorized pesticides or other food-safety changes that could affect imported goods. It uses AI to translate, score relevance, and categorize articles so government analysts can decide whether to increase border-inspection testing. The system does not process personal information and its findings are used by federal government employees only.
