Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses.
I'll start with Ms. Casovan.
Ms. Casovan, during your time in the Government of Canada, you led the development of the first‑ever artificial intelligence policy, namely, the directive on automated decision‑making. This directive imposes a number of requirements on the federal government's use of technologies that assist or replace the judgment of a human decision‑maker, including the use of machine learning and predictive analytics. These requirements include the requirement to provide notice when the automated decision‑making system is being used, as well as the existence of recourse methods for those who wish to challenge administrative decisions.
In your opinion, should this type of notice or recourse provision be included in the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act?
