This system uses artificial intelligence to help government employees process Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) requests more efficiently. It suggests which parts of documents should be redacted based on patterns and prior decisions, and uses natural language processing to assist with the redaction workflow. The AI makes suggestions that employees review and approve — it does not make final redaction decisions automatically. Members of the public who submit ATIP requests may have their submission documents processed by this system.
