Description
AI in Public Sector IT Projects: Scoping, Piloting and Rollout
Introducing artificial intelligence into a public sector IT project while remaining in control
- 1 day — 7 h
- In-person or virtual
- Foundation
- Up to 6 participants
Government entities receive proposals that all now include an artificial intelligence component. IT teams must respond to leadership eager to announce results while upholding public procurement rules data protection requirements and service continuity. The subject is rarely addressed within a framework shared by the information systems department the business units and executive management.
One day to establish that framework: distinguishing use cases that deliver real gains from those driven by announcement value building an evaluable pilot and preparing the transition into business-as-usual service. The work is based on projects brought by participants.
Learning objectives
- Distinguish artificial intelligence use cases that deliver gains from those with no measurable effect
- Scope a project taking account of data business needs and legal constraints
- Build a pilot with clear evaluation criteria
- Identify key points of caution relating to personal data and public procurement
- Prepare support for the staff affected by the rollout
