Overview

Advances in artificial intelligence will transform the way public sector organisations work and deliver services. But while technology opens clear opportunities, there are also plenty of areas that require a firmer understanding.

This half-day Understanding AI Masterclass gives you an overview of the AI landscape, including use case examples and the ethical and legal considerations brought about by the November 2023 AI summit. Gain insights into the different approaches to implementing AI models and solutions, guidance on the risks and how to mitigate them.

Leave the day with hands-on experience of using machine learning and generative AI tools, take away an action plan to deploy within your organisation.

Please note as AI is ever-changing, we will use technologies applicable at the time of this course.
