One of the reports will look at how the government is using artificial intelligence as the rapidly-evolving technology gathers pace.

As Global News has previously reported, the province is in the very early steps of its plans for AI — but has the highest usage of Microsoft CoPilot in the country.

Elsewhere, Spence will dive into Ontario’s special education policies, licensing for large commercial truck drivers and the family responsibility office.
