AI for design
We’re exploring the use of a SaaS design tool with built-in AI, such as Claude Design, to support UX and design work using unclassified information. The goal is to help with things like early ideation, drafting content, prototyping, and general design workflows to improve speed and consistency. We’re also trying to understand the leanest and most efficient way to go through AI governance for this type of tool, while still meeting privacy, security, and policy requirements.

Basic Translations & Data Processing
We 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

Biological models to support prioritzing salmon stocks under future climates
This project fits retrospective, life stage-specific models in a data-driven analytical framework to evaluate functional responses to climate variables across the salmon life cycle and make projections for how stocks will respond to climate change scenarios. This modelling approach is intended to be sufficiently flexible to incorporate variability in data quality. Large language models are being used to brainstorm modelling approaches and debug code. AI is not being tasked with developing these models. Large Language Models

Copilot Studio platform implementation
With the growing interest from CDOS and the rest of the department on custom AI Chat Bots and Citizen Development, there is an opportunity to increase IT enablement through the use of low code solutions. Since the department has already invested indirectly in the Power Platform, it makes sense to extend that investment into the proper implementation of Microsoft Copilot Studio which is another tool from the Power Platform rapid development platform.

CSAS Knowledge Base Creation
This solution leverages the Radia AI Assistant developed by the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED). The purpose of the initiative is to create a knowledge base of CSAS publications from the last 25 years. This knowledge base would allow anyone to leverage the AI Assistant to extract trends, data, and information in such a way as to plot new visualizations by unleashing the information held within the publication repository. This initiative has a Statement of Work with ISED and it is being scoped out for amount of work and cost. All indicators to date show that this is a very workable knowledge base development.

Data Innovation – Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative
Discover innovative data and artificial intelligence (A.I) projects addressing complex salmon data challenges made possible through strategic investments from the Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative (PSSI). PSSI initiatives harness the power of advanced data and A.I. technologies like machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing to revolutionize how to support salmon conservation and rebuilding efforts in the modern data and digital era. By integrating advanced data and A.I. technologies with program activities such as habitat restoration, ecosystem planning, sustainable fishery management practices, and collaborative efforts in Science, the PSSI leverages modern tools to enhance planning and data-driven decision-making. Together, these data and A.I. efforts create high quality and more accessible data and enable better insights and actions to protect and restore Pacific salmon and its ecosystems.

Database Scripting Automation
i would like to be able to review the scripts the DBAs run to ensure that we can automate and reduce the administrative workload. if possible we would then be able to provide more opporutnities for the group to do more architecturing then Administrative updates. haven'T delved this through, but i think it would be high value.
