The Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law is pleased to invite you to a seminar on: AI in Government: Considerations for Public Servants Using AI. The seminar will be held online, via Zoom.
This seminar will explore the growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the public service, examining its potential benefits and the distinctive challenges and risks that arise when AI is used in public sector settings. As government agencies increasingly explore AI applications, from drafting communications and analysing information to supporting policy development and administrative decision-making, it is important to understand not only what these technologies can achieve, but also the implications of their use for the exercise of public power. The expert panellists will examine how government agencies are currently using AI, and consider the opportunities it presents to improve efficiency and access to government services. They will also explore the risks associated with AI use in government, and how government agencies, oversight bodies and individual public servants should assess whether, when and how AI is appropriate to use in performing public functions.
