AI for Public Policy and Governance

Explore AI applications and implications in public sector and government contexts.

What is this course about?

Public sector organisations face a unique set of opportunities and challenges when it comes to AI adoption. The potential to improve services, reduce costs and support better policy decisions is significant – but so are the responsibilities around citizen privacy, algorithmic accountability, democratic oversight and equitable service delivery.

This course addresses the specific challenges of deploying AI in government and public sector contexts. It explores practical AI applications for public policy and governance, alongside the frameworks and considerations that ensure AI adoption remains responsible, transparent and trustworthy. Essential for public sector leaders navigating AI adoption whilst maintaining public confidence.
