- The RCMP warns of legal and ethical challenges and has established an AI policy and solutions team to draft frameworks, create working groups and help employees use new technologies.
- In the coming years, CSE expects AI to be more important for national security, with the federal passport program’s facial recognition and Transport Canada’s Risk Evaluation and Conflict Tool illustrating expanding operational AI use.
