What it is for

Education & LearningResearch & DevelopmentAccessibility

This system uses AI tools from multiple vendors to help Canada School of Public Service staff write and improve code, generate learning content, and make digital materials more accessible. It is used by Government of Canada employees and is not applied to personal information. Users are informed when AI is involved in the process.

What it collects and what happens to it

Data taken in

Operational data
Anonymized data
  • Internal code repositories and learning content repositories maintained by the Canada School of Public Service. The register states no personal information is involved.

Processing

Language Models
  • Large language models supplied by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google underlie the code generation, debugging assistance, research support, and content development capabilities.

What it does

Creating (Generative AI)
Human decides
  • Generates code, written content, and accessibility-improved materials. CSPS staff review and decide what to use, consistent with the disclosed use of AI to users.
Deciding (Analytical AI)
Human decides
  • Analyses existing code for bugs, quality issues, and accessibility gaps, returning diagnostic findings for human review and remediation.

Outputs

Generated content
Anonymized data
  • Generated code, improved learning materials, accessibility recommendations, and research summaries produced for CSPS staff. No personal information is contained in outputs.

Run by

Canada School of Public Service (CSPS)
  • Government of Canada institution that deploys these AI tools to accelerate product development cycles and improve the quality and accessibility of learning content.

AI Register — Department field

Built by

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google
  • The AI capabilities are supplied by third-party vendors OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, whose models underlie the code generation, debugging, and content development tools used by CSPS staff.

  • The system processes internal CSPS code and content repositories; no personal data is collected, so individual data access rights are not applicable to members of the public.

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 who use outputs created with these tools are informed that AI was used in their production. The register confirms AI use is disclosed to users.
  • Right to Algorithmic TransparencyThe existence and general purpose of these AI tools is disclosed through Canada's public AI register, allowing Government of Canada employees and the public to understand that AI supports content and code development at CSPS.
