Speaking to reporters Monday as she launched consultations on the use of AI in the public service, Anand said the government is looking for a strategy to use AI responsibly. Anand said she wants the government's strategy to avoid bias or discrimination in the use of AI. "This is the part of the work that we're doing to ensure that the AI tools that we are incorporating are not used for unsavoury or discriminatory purposes," she said. Anand said that while it's important to help the private sector develop AI, it's also important to develop the public service's use of AI. Officials told the roundtable that the government plans to launch its public service AI strategy by March.
