What it is for

Education & Learning

This system uses AI tools from vendors including Google, OpenAI, Canva, Venngage, and Adobe to generate graphics and interactive learning content for Government of Canada employees. It is operated by the Canada School of Public Service to enhance engagement and accessibility in training materials. The system does not involve personal information. Users are informed that AI is involved in content creation.

What it collects and what happens to it

Data taken in

Operational data
Anonymized data
  • CSPS learning content — existing course materials, topic briefs, and instructional text — is used as the source data for generating new visual and interactive assets.

Processing

Language Models
  • Large language models from OpenAI and Google (and integrated within Canva, Venngage, and Adobe tools) underpin text-to-image generation and interactive content design capabilities.

What it does

Creating (Generative AI)
Human decides
  • The system creates new images, graphics, and interactive design elements from text prompts or CSPS learning content. Human instructional designers review and select the generated outputs before they are incorporated into learning materials.

How to read the colours

Can it identify you?

Anonymized data
Data about people with the link to who is broken. Stripped of identifiers, blurred, aggregated, or noised so this system can’t reasonably tie a record back to an individual.
Pseudonymous data
Each person’s data is tied to a token (hash, ID, template) that lets this system recognise the same person across events, but the token itself doesn’t reveal a name. Reidentification is possible with extra information.
Identifiable data
The data either contains a direct identifier (name, address, account name, recognisable face or voice, plate number) or carries a token this system uses to look up legal identity during processing.

Who completes the loop?

Human decides
This mode suggests; a person decides what to do next. The AI is always advisory — a human is in the loop on every decision. Example: a triage tool ranks cases for a clinician who chooses which to see first.
Human executes
This mode decides; a person carries out the result. Example: an optimizer plans the day’s trash-collection routes, and drivers run them.
Autonomous
This mode decides and acts on its own. No person reviews each decision or carries out the resulting action.

Definitions from the DTPR standard. Amber is about your data, violet about who decides. The fuller the shape and the deeper the colour, the more identifying the data or the less a person is involved.

Your rights

  • Right to Be Informed of AI UseGovernment of Canada employees are informed when AI tools are used to generate the graphics and interactive content they encounter in CSPS learning materials. The register confirms that AI use is disclosed to users.

Risks and safeguards

  • Societal & cultural harmGenerative AI tools may produce biased, inaccurate, or culturally inappropriate imagery and content. As the system is used for public service learning materials, the risk of propagating stereotypes or misinformation exists.Safeguard: CSPS learning designers review all AI-generated content before incorporation; AI use is disclosed to learners; source inputs are drawn from established CSPS learning content rather than open-ended prompts.
