GLOSSE was a platform operated by the National Research Council Canada that automatically monitored overseas news media to help Canadian government Watch Offices respond to international crises. It translated, scored, and categorized news articles from commercial and open feeds to help identify safe evacuation routes for Canadians abroad during conflicts. The system has been retired and did not process personal information. AI use was not disclosed to users at the time of deployment.
