This system is a central online portal that helps Canadians submit Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) requests to the federal government. It uses AI capabilities to analyze, categorize, and route requests to the appropriate government institution. Decisions made by the system can be overridden by a human decision-maker, and if a request is misdirected, it is redirected to the correct institution. The system's underlying algorithm is considered a trade secret and may be difficult to interpret or explain.
