AI-Generated Imagery for Public Service Training

Education & Learning

What it collects

Operational data
Anonymized data
  • Storyboards and training scripts authored by CSPS instructional designers. These describe scenarios, characters, and settings for the learning environments but do not contain personal information about identifiable individuals.

What it is for

Education & Learning

This system uses AI image and scene generation tools (MidJourney and Google Gemini Pro) to create visual content for scenario-based training modules at the Canada School of Public Service. It takes storyboards and training scripts as inputs and produces immersive learning environments for Government of Canada employees. No personal information is involved, and users are informed that AI is being used in content creation.

What it collects and what happens to it

Data taken in

Operational data
Anonymized data
  • Storyboards and training scripts authored by CSPS instructional designers. These describe scenarios, characters, and settings for the learning environments but do not contain personal information about identifiable individuals.

Processing

Language Models
  • Google Gemini Pro provides multimodal generative capabilities including scene description and image creation from text prompts.

What it does

Creating (Generative AI)
Human executes
  • Generates images and visual scenes from storyboards and training scripts using MidJourney and Google Gemini Pro. Human instructional designers author the scripts and direct the generation; the AI produces the visual assets they specify.

Outputs

Generated content
Anonymized data
  • AI-generated images and visual scenes used in scenario-based training modules. The content is fictional and educational; no personal data is embedded in the outputs.

Run by

Canada School of Public Service (CSPS)
  • The Canada School of Public Service deploys this AI system to create immersive scenario-based learning environments for training Government of Canada employees.

Built by

MidJourney & Google
  • MidJourney provides AI image generation services and Google supplies Gemini Pro for generative scene creation. Both are third-party vendors whose tools are used to produce training imagery.

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 UseAI use is disclosed to users of the training modules. GC employees are informed that the imagery and scenarios they encounter in training were created using AI tools.

Risks and safeguards

  • Societal & cultural harmAI-generated training imagery could inadvertently reproduce stereotypes, biases, or culturally insensitive depictions that may affect how GC employees perceive public service scenarios.Safeguard: Instructional designers author the storyboards and scripts that guide generation, maintaining human editorial control. AI use is disclosed to learners, and training content is reviewed before deployment.
