Show Notes
British Columbias government is adopting AI to expedite freedom of information requests, raising concerns about privacy, job cuts, and accountability. AOT Technologies, with a $5.7M contract, is developing AI tools to review handwritten documents and redact personal details. Despite a ten-dollar filing fee and higher processing fees, backlogs persist. Critics worry about privacy risks, lack of public input, and potential job losses. The AI system aims to reduce response times by up to a week and handle more redactions. As governments increasingly rely on AI for public records, the challenge lies in balancing speed with trust.
