AI-Assisted Document Redaction for Access to Information Requests

This tool uses AI models to automatically identify and redact sensitive information in government documents before they are released in response to Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) requests at National Defence. A human reviewer remains in the loop for every decision. The system is currently in development and not yet in production use; when deployed, it will process documents containing personal information. Members of the public whose information appears in released documents may be affected by redaction decisions made with AI assistance.
