AI for Government Leaders
A one-day AI programme for senior civil servants who sponsor, govern or decide on AI adoption in government. No coding or data science knowledge needed.
About This Programme
This one-day programme is for government leaders who are expected to lead their department’s response to AI: sponsoring projects, governing use and making informed decisions about adoption. The 60-minute “AI for All” training was step one and you now need more than awareness. By the end of the day you’ll be able to turn what you understand about AI into a strategy.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of the day you’ll be able to:
- Explain what AI can and cannot do, without jargon
- Describe the GDS guidance, the AI framework and the cross-government strategy on AI
- Weigh the ethical considerations: bias, transparency, accountability and public trust
- Buy AI services responsibly through government frameworks
- Describe the data governance and data foundations that have to be in place for AI to work
- Work out which skills and structures your department needs to build AI-ready teams
- Identify and manage the risks that are specific to AI in government
