AI in Canadian prisons is no longer hypothetical. Correctional Service Canada has handed $123,000 to Accenture to pilot the use of artificial intelligence in writing criminal profile reports, the foundational documents that shape how inmates are managed, what programs they access, and how parole decisions get made. Technology analyst Carmi Levy breaks down what that actually means and why the experts raising red flags deserve to be heard.

The problem isn't that AI is being used. It's that the oversight required to catch its errors costs more time and resources than skipping the AI entirely. Levy draws a line from hallucinating courtroom case citations to correctional reports, and the logic is hard to argue with.

If the answer is only as good as the question, someone needs to ask a better one before this goes any further.
