About the webinar
Time – 10:30-11:30am
There is huge and growing interest in artificial intelligence across government, as there is in every sector. But, even while ministers and managers talk up the vast potential of AI, technologists continue to report difficulty in progressing pilots and exploratory exercises into broader – and more impactful – deployments.
Projects can face challenges such as the need for both senior and specialist skills, a lack of programme governance, and a requirement for funding models that better support innovation.
In this webinar discussion current and former senior officials will discuss how to civil servants working on AI initiatives can tackle such obstacles and give their work the best chance of flourishing.
Topics covered will include:
- How to develop business cases and project plans
- The most significant potential use cases
- Getting the right governance in place
- The biggest barriers to deploying AI at scale
- Demonstrating impact and ROI
