The federal government has introduced new guidelines for employees who want to use artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT on the job to ensure the technology is being used responsibly, says Treasury Board President Anita Anand.

    There’s absolutely no part of generative AI that is possible in a Canadian government setting.

    If your local or federal government isn’t keeping your data sovereign and can prove so then you need to raise the biggest stink about ID theft and foreign influence you can.

    It’s not about how bad the GPT responses can get technically, or how confidently GPT can give you the wrong info, but about risking your info going out or risking foreign involvement in decisions and planning. Because it cannot be proved that using a generative AI for decisions will only use domestic commiting resources now and that we’ll know if that changes.

    People who cling to this plan despite that fact will need some serious questioning. We have enough foreign involvement already ; have you met the Opposition?

      There is so much more to gov work than what you think. There are thousands of internal admin and analytical positions and reporting that citizens will never know about because it’s process work to help other workers.

      You speak with absolute certainty and yet you have virtually no idea what goes on in an actual government.

        Meaning that the foreign influence he speaks of already found its way in via the admin staff?

          Not even remotely what was said but it sounds like you’re very confident with your assertion so there’s no point conversing further.

          Have a good night mister pigeon.

            Perhaps you misread the first comment, then? He did not imply nobody in government would find utility in generative AI, but that they would not be able to use it as there is no way to ensure that foreign influence and interference doesn’t show up in the results.

            It seemed that maybe you were implying that it doesn’t matter as the interference is already there through the support staff, so who cares if it also comes by way of generative production, but it really was not clear. It turns out you were really just rambling on about nothing and unhappy that someone noticed?
