Details

With the Australian Government backing AI’s potential by committing $29.9m towards its R&D, the focus for public sector leaders today is not to address the “why” but “why not” for AI opportunities. As the private sector is leading the way with AI adoption, the public sector are quickly catching on to examine how-to strategies to leverage AI technologies for to deliver faster, more efficient and relevant services to their citizens.

With that in mind, the AI for Government Summit will return in August to bring you fresh new case studies and ideas in the Public Sector to drive sustainable and ethical adoption of artificial intelligence to improve public confidence and trust.

Key Themes:
• Centralised frameworks and standards to guide whole-of-government collaboration on AI adoption
• Addressing data risk and ethical concerns associated with AI applications
• Data governance to maximize trust and transparency between the Government, citizens and employees
• Identifying use cases of AI to improve service delivery and cost efficiencies
