What it is for

Inform

This system uses artificial intelligence to help Government of Canada employees publish web content faster by automatically summarizing documents and generating metadata. It reduces the time needed to publish content from days to minutes. The primary users are federal public servants, not members of the public. Citizens should know that AI-generated summaries and metadata are produced without direct human drafting of every word.

What it collects and what happens to it

Data taken in

Operational data
Anonymized data
  • Draft or existing web content documents submitted by GC employees for summarization and metadata generation. This is government operational content, not personal data about members of the public.

Processing

Language Models
  • Large language model technology is used to read, summarize, and generate metadata from web content submitted by government employees.

What it does

Creating (Generative AI)
Human decides
  • The system generates content summaries and metadata for web pages. Human web publishers and content editors review and approve the AI-generated output before it is published.
Deciding (Analytical AI)
Human decides
  • The system analyzes source content to extract key themes, structure, and relevant metadata fields, supporting downstream generation steps.

Outputs

Generated content
Anonymized data
  • AI-generated summaries and metadata (such as titles, descriptions, and keywords) produced for government web pages. These are reviewed by human editors before publication and do not directly identify members of the public.

Run by

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC)
  • The federal department accountable for deploying the Web Publisher Accelerator to support web content publishing by Government of Canada employees.

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 Algorithmic TransparencyGovernment of Canada employees and members of the public may request information about how this AI system works through the Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) process or by contacting Indigenous Services Canada directly.
  • Right to a Human ReviewAll AI-generated summaries and metadata are reviewed and approved by human web content editors before publication. No content is published automatically without human oversight.

Risks and safeguards

  • Societal & cultural harmAI-generated summaries of government web content, particularly content related to Indigenous peoples and services, may omit culturally significant nuance or misrepresent complex policy contexts.Safeguard: All AI outputs are subject to mandatory human review by trained web content editors before publication. Content related to Indigenous peoples' services must align with departmental communication standards.
