AI-Assisted Analysis for Competition Enforcement
COMPASS is a secure, government-operated generative AI platform that helps investigators and analysts at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada review large volumes of sensitive documents related to competition law enforcement and market studies. It uses large language models to summarise documents, detect patterns, build searchable knowledge bases, and monitor competition-related developments from digital sources. The system processes internal and confidential information but is not reported to involve personal information. Government employees are informed that AI is in use.
