Canada's Carney Government Tests AI System to Build Offender Profile Reports in Federal Prisons

The Toronto Star reports that Canada's federal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney is piloting an AI system inside federal prisons to generate profile reports on incarcerated individuals, raising questions about algorithmic bias and due process. The deployment comes weeks after Carney launched the national AI for All strategy on June 4, which critics said lacked safety guardrails. Civil liberties advocates have raised concerns about the system's use in sentencing and parole decisions.
