EXA Consulting Group with Canadian Global Affairs Institute (CGAI) Hosts a symposium on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Canadian government procurement
On January 28, The EXA Consulting Group, in collaboration with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute (CGAI), hosted a symposium on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Canadian government procurement at EY’s downtown Ottawa conference facility. Senior leaders from government and industry participated in what was the first event of its kind in Canada, focused specifically on the role of AI in federal procurement and competitive bidding.
The symposium featured a panel discussion examining both the opportunities and the risks associated with AI adoption, including its impact on procurement strategy, requirements development, proposal preparation, and evaluation processes. Discussions also addressed governance, ethics, confidentiality, and risk management.
“Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded in every aspect of professional work,” said Alex McPhail, President of The EXA Consulting Group. “Like any powerful technology, it can improve outcomes or introduce new risks. Leaders must understand both as they seek to improve efficiency and decision quality.”
The event was well attended and generated a substantive dialogue on policies, processes, and practical guardrails for the responsible use of AI in Canada’s procurement environment.
