Details

This system uses a large language model to help Canada Border Services Agency officers review security screening referrals more efficiently. It reads text data from referrals, flags pre-determined areas of concern, and generates short narrative summaries to support officer decision-making. Officers remain responsible for final screening decisions — the AI is advisory, not determinative.
