This system uses artificial intelligence to produce daily seasonal forecasts of sea-ice conditions in the Canadian Arctic, helping shipping operators plan safe voyages through ice-covered waters. Forecasts are integrated into the Canadian Arctic Shipping Risk Assessment System (CASRAS) and made available to both government employees and the public. No personal information is collected or used. The Government of Canada discloses that this tool is AI-powered.
