Details

Transport Canada ran a structured experiment in 2024 to test AI tools — specifically the Athena platform and ChatGPT — for policy research tasks such as trend identification, information gathering, and document summarization. The tools were used by government employees and were not used to make decisions about members of the public. No personal information was collected or processed.
