加拿大多伦多星报Toronto Star报道，自2014年开始，加拿大移民局就在悄悄地开发“智能预测”系统，这种技术可以像移民官一样审核移民申请案子。

加拿大移民局退休总监Andrew Griffith说，如果加拿大移民局开始使用自动审核系统，应该有一个监控体系来监控这个过程。

【这项“智能分析”系统，是为了解决移民案例审核中的大量积压与延期，通过技术来确认移民申请案例的分值，发现潜在的造假红色预警，并综合分析这些因素，以便确认是否推荐这个申请被批准或者拒绝】
The plan — part of the government’s modernization of a system plagued by backlogs and delays — is to use the technology to identify the merits of an immigration application, spot potential red flags for fraud and weigh all these factors to recommend whether an applicant should be accepted or refused.

【现在这个系统侧重于建立一个可以区分高风险和低风险申请的系统】
At the moment, the focus of the project is on building processes that would distinguish between high-risk and low-risk applications, immigration officials said.

【加拿大移民局发言人Lindsay Wemp说：“智能预测”系统模式是通过分析上千过往申请案例及其结果建立起来的。这样计算机可以通过对过往数据的“学习”建立一个模型，一个模仿移民官如何审核案例的行为方式】
“Predictive analytics models are built by analyzing thousands of past applications and their outcomes. This allows the computer to ‘learn’ by detecting patterns in the data, in a manner analogous to how officers learn through the experience of processing applications,” department spokesperson Lindsay Wemp said in an email.

【目标是在减少处理时间和保证项目的公证性的前提下，提升客户服务和增加操作有效性】
“The goal is to improve client service and increase operational efficiency by reducing processing times while strengthening program integrity.”

【这个“智能分析”项目是2013年2月份被政府批准启动，没有确认的上线时间表】
The project was approved by the former Conservative government cabinet in February 2013. Wemp said there is no firm timeline on when automated decisions might be a viable option.

【为了保证决策的准确性，项目上线以前，要进行大量测试】
“To ensure the accuracy of decisions, models undergo extensive testing prior to being used. Once in service, quality assurance will be performed continually to make sure that model predictions are accurate,” she explained.

【对新兴科技的好奇，并保证项目的可靠运行，使得我们不会仓促上线】

“The novelty of the technology and the importance of getting it right make it imperative that we do not rush this project.”

【加拿大移民局发言人Wemp强调：移民局的这个项目不应该被列为“人工智能”，因为一个预测模型不能像人工一样做出决定，人类移民官仍然将是决策过程的核心】

The Immigration Department’s Wemp, however, said the department’s plans shouldn’t be classified as artificial intelligence because a predictive model cannot exercise judgment in the same way as a human and officers will always remain central to the process.

【我们通过这个系统可以实时发现异常造假和威胁行为，加拿大移民局在逐个项目进行测试】

“We would be able to catch abnormalities in real time, which would then help us to identify fraud and threats more quickly,” noted Wemp. “Some immigration programs are better suited for predictive analytics than others. The department envisions a phased approach, one program at a time.”

加拿大移民局发言人说【这个项目的引入不会导致裁员，因为移民官将审核高风险案例，提供高增值服务】

Immigration officials said no job losses are anticipated, as officers who are no longer working on low-risk applications would be reassigned to “higher value-added activities” such as reducing backlogs elsewhere.
