"Fittingly, the 1,350-person Translation Bureau is leading the way in the federal government in experimenting with AI. It is developing the first project under Ottawa’s AI strategy meant to serve as a showpiece for what government can do with technology: a self-serve automated #translation tool for civil servants.
If the government is serious, the Bureau should set itself on a mission to all but put itself out of business, and to drastically cut the amount Ottawa spends on its services to fulfill its Official Languages Act obligations. If the translation profession is largely disappearing, so too should government spending and employment in the area, showing that AI could deliver meaningful cost savings and operating efficiencies."

in reply to Stéphanie • • •I'd rather see a self-serve tax filing system, instead of a "must pay oligarchs a fee and give them all your confidential and sensitive data to do mandatory filings with the Government"
I guess the priorities are NOT Canadian.
I would hope the OQLF would object, but then I'm a dreamer here.

I would expect that they would have jurisdiction in objecting about the way the federal Govt want to communicate in French with the Province of Québec.
As I said, I'm a dreamer. I dreamer of a world that is functional.

But again I don't hope. The moron in charge here probably has been advised to not miss out on the opportunity to get rid of workers for some AI garbage is was bribed about.
