About This Programme
A practical programme for government leaders on understanding, governing, and leading AI adoption in the public sector.

- Data governance - the data foundations needed for AI to work
- Building AI-ready teams - what skills and structures your department needs
- Risk management - identifying and managing AI-specific risks in a government context
