EquiVision is an AI-enhanced data analysis platform developed by Employment and Social Development Canada to help identify employment barriers and promote workplace equity across federally regulated employers. The system uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automate the collection and analysis of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) data, providing insights into representation rates and pay gaps in private-sector workplaces.
This system affects employers subject to federal employment equity requirements, government decision-makers, and business sectors seeking to understand and improve workplace diversity. By processing employment data through AI-driven analysis, the system generates reports and insights that help organizations identify equity challenges and track progress. The system is currently in development and will process personal information related to employee demographics and compensation.
Key transparency information: This system uses generative AI and natural language processing capabilities to analyze employment data. It is developed in collaboration with Microsoft and is primarily used by Government of Canada employees. The system processes personal information and users should be aware that their employment data may be analyzed through automated AI processes to identify patterns related to workplace equity.
