Canada Uses Opaque LLM Pipeline For Consultation

In October 2025, Minister Evan Solomon launched a 30-day public consultation on Canada’s AI strategy; ISED published a summary of more than 11,000 submissions and 32 task force reports last week. ISED says it used an internal pipeline combining four LLMs (Cohere Command A, GPT-5 nano, Claude Haiku, Gemini Flash) to automate analysis and drafting, but disclosed little about prompts, human validation, data protections, or opt-outs, prompting concerns that the process undermines public trust.
