    Digital Government and Service Minister Elvis Loveless says “Canadians expect our public services to keep pace with the digital world, and that governments will do everything in their power to protect them."

    Political leaders responsible for digital trust and cyber security met at the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministerial Symposium in St. John’s this week. Talks centred around three key areas: cyber security, digital trust and artificial intelligence (AI). They stressed the importance of having measures in place to facilitate the sharing of cyber security information to better protect Canadians. Ministers discussed the use of technology to modernize systems and to deliver better, faster and smarter services to the public. They agreed that the use of AI should be assessed and managed on a case-by-case basis, and to share where AI is used in their own governments to identify best practices. Digital Government and Service Minister Elvis Loveless says “Canadians expect our public services to keep pace with the digital world, and that governments will do everything in their power to protect them. By coming together, the Ministers are demonstrating their commitment to this goal.”
