Intelligent automation empowers the Government of Canada to work more efficiently
Finance Canada and SSC used intelligent automation to analyze a large volume of public submissions.
Innovation at SSC
The Government of Canada (GC) is meeting Canadians’ evolving demands for digital services by adopting new digital delivery methods. Shared Services Canada (SSC) is enabling the transition through experimentation and innovation in digital technology. In testing emerging technologies, SSC is learning how they might be used to evolve existing services to match Canadians’ expectations.
Support for innovation
Artificial intelligence
SSC enables the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) for federal public servants to improve GC efficiency, innovation and service delivery.
ICELab
A testing service for Government of Canada organizations to rapidly host, explore and evaluate the operational and business value of emerging technologies.
