DFO PB LLM ServiceProvide an approved DFO internal LLM as a service in a PBMM environment. After our team performed a year-long pilot project providing an unclassified internal GenAI models for 14 teams to develop their custom chatbots, we have collected feedback and identified gaps in the availability of GenAI at DFO. One of the biggest gaps was the need for a secure model to be used with private or classified data. Our cloud platform is certified up to PBMM, so we are working to identify, deploy and approve an internal large language model (LLM), as well as make it available to DFO users through API. IT security team is involved in helping us secure and certify the model for use at DFO.

General - Office ManagementDraft and Refine Documents: Staff make use of Copilot to generate or refine briefing notes to make these clear and concise. Enhance Collaboration and Workflow Efficiency: By offering suggestions for document formatting, language style, and clarifying content, Copilot helps maintain consistency and accuracy across communications and facilitates more effective interdepartmental collaboration. Meeting notes: After a meeting is recorded, Copilot can transcribe audio to produce a relatively accurate record of the discussion, using natural language processing to identify key points, decisions, and follow-up tasks, and organizing these into relatively concise summaries and action item lists. Conduct Research and Summarize Information: It can quickly extract key points from extensive reports, legislation, or guidelines—helping to synthesize complex information into actionable insights. Support Data Analysis and Reporting: Employees use Copilot to structure performance metrics, track progress against key indicators, and generate reports that inform decision-making. **These functionalities save time, improve comprehensiveness, and can help ensure that critical details are captured.**

Basic Translations & Data ProcessingWe have identified several effective use cases: Processing machine readable data into human readable formats, basic translations, and summarizing large documents and reports into digestible formats. We participated in tests of the DFO Pilot ChatGPT (GPT3) which was available prior to the DFO implementation of MS Copilot. As part of our testing, we identified several effective use cases which apply to both options since they're based on the same under

Pacific Aquaculture Regulations (PAR) Gap AnalysisCopilot is being leveraged to analyze written submissions and meeting notes from the Transition Plan engagement process to identify key themes, concerns, and suggestions. It helps summarise large aounts of input that help detect gaps in the feedback - such as missing perspectives, underrepresented topics, or unclear areas - enabling AD to plan more targeted and inclusive future engagement and consultations on the PAR amendments. Copilot also helps to dig into input in a more manageable way.

Emulator for OPP port models and for relocatable ocean modelling systemUse machine learning to develop an emulator (or similar) for the OPP port models, which would be used to produce forecasts via inference. The inference is expected to be both faster and computationally cheaper than existing solutions. The training process would use existing model output from multi-year hindcasts.
