Could digital secretary 'Amelia' be the future face of Government of Canada's AI services?

A New York City-based firm that develops a "digital colleague" named Amelia is the first to state interest in providing artificial intelligence services to the Government of Canada. A tender notice posted by Public Works and Government Services Canada on Saturday morning is the most recent step taken by the government towards acquiring AI services. Its purpose is to create a pre-qualified list of suppliers that will deliver AI services towards several key areas where the government believes it has the most to gain from the technology. IPsoft Canada is the first to be listed as an interested supplier. Its Amelia AI system that promises to handle customer service requests without the need for human intervention.
