Information Systems/Technology

This Artificial Intelligence Masterclass is recommended for Senior Public Service Leaders, at management board level, who wish to develop their knowledge of AI and explore its strategic potential in crafting policy for, and delivering services to, the public.

The context within which public servants operate is increasingly complex and challenging. Fast-paced technological disruption, the proliferation of data, the changing way of work, customer and employee expectations, demographic patterns and other external factors are all shaping our economy and society. The Public Service needs to be strategically placed to respond to challenges in the short, medium and long term.

This Masterclass will assist Departments and Public Sector Organisations in meeting their obligations under the Public Service Transformation strategy, ‘Better Public Services’, and its vision for ‘inclusive, high quality and integrated public service provision that meets the needs and improves the lives of the people of Ireland’. It will equip Senior Leaders with the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as identify its potential use and associated implications for public service organisations.

This is a one-day interactive in-person programme which will use a mixture of presentations, discussions and challenges, providing an opportunity to learn with, and from colleagues implementing, or considering implementing, AI across the Public Service.
