Through expert-led discussions and interactive workshops, attendees will explore how AI is shaping public service delivery, public safety and justice, and operational efficiency. Key topics include the fundamentals of AI, its applications in government, ethical and regulatory frameworks, and strategies for overcoming implementation challenges.
Participants will engage in hands-on activities, including a strategy workshop where they will build a high-level roadmap for their respective organizations. The session will also feature a fireside chat with AI practitioners and public sector leaders who have successfully integrated AI solutions into their organizations.
