Mr. Chair, we certainly do see changes in the way artificial intelligence is being used online. In our day-to-day lives, we've seen how much easier it is in the past year or two to use artificial intelligence. We see the same thing happening with the threat actors who use it in their malicious activities.
To monitor that, we look globally at how it's being used online. As an example, when we put forward our publication last year on the threats AI posed to Canada's democratic process, we looked at over 200 elections that occurred in that year or year-and-a-half period globally ahead of that to understand the tactics and the techniques being used.
We put that into the report so that Canadians have that information to understand how to protect themselves and what the threat is, but we also use it internally. We use that to derive the advice and guidance we provide. We use it to provide insight into our day-to-day operations in cybersecurity for Canada. We share it with our colleagues across the security community.
It's a big piece that helps us inform how we operate and that helps us in the advice and guidance we give to Canadians.
