Details

This AI system powers the search function on GEO.ca, a federal web portal that brings together Canada's open geospatial data from federal, provincial, and territorial governments. It uses large language model technology to interpret the meaning and context behind user search queries, returning more relevant results than traditional keyword matching. The system is used by members of the public, and according to the official register, users are not currently informed that AI is being used to process their searches.
