AI in the public sector: How can government achieve the greatest impact?

The government sees AI as an engine of innovation and productivity, including within government itself. But when faced with constrained public finances and a profusion of ways to use AI, where should government focus to achieve results? Could faster progress be made? 

This event brought together politicians and civil society representatives to discuss how government can and should make the best use of AI. It also considered how the potential risks might be anticipated and addressed, as well as how the government can maintain public trust as technological change occurs. 

Speakers:

Kate Bell, Assistant General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress

Alwin Magimay, Global Head of AI at PA Consulting

Gaia Marcus, Director of the Ada Lovelace Institute

Gordon McKee MP, Member of Parliament for Glasgow South

This event was chaired by Dr Matthew Gill, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

This event was in partnership with PA Consulting.
