BC ELN is pleased to release the initial results of the AI in BC ELN Licensed Resources [1] project! This project surveyed vendors to clarify how generative AI is being used across products and services licensed through BC ELN/eHLbc direct or Consortia Canada deals. The survey asked: 

• what AI components are in development or have been rolled out in vendor platforms and services;  

• which licensors these AI components apply to;  

• for a description of the AI component, where applicable;  

• whether the AI component is optional or mandatory as part of a licensing deal; 

• whether the AI component is opt-in or enabled by default; 

• for further information on the AI component, where available. 

The purpose of this work is to support eHLbc member organizations in making informed, evidence‑based decisions about products and services. 

The resulting AI in BC ELN Licensed Resources spreadsheet [2] (click to view page and download) compiles vendor responses to the survey, links to relevant public information pages about generative AI components, and provides notes on and updates to vendor responses where available. Because generative AI technologies are evolving rapidly, the spreadsheet includes the initial date of data collection as well as a “last updated” date, and will continue to be revised over time.
