Summary

Transluce, an independent nonprofit AI research lab, said an AI agent made two unsuccessful attempts to access a Library and Archives Canada website, on May 28 and June 9. The group observed 899 requests to the site’s collection-search service, apparently seeking Canadian divorce records from 1905 to 1911, and described the effort as rudimentary.
