About This Programme

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

The 60-minute “AI for All” training was step one. If you’re expected to lead your department’s response to AI - sponsoring projects, governing use, making informed decisions about adoption - you need more than awareness. This programme takes you from understanding to strategy.

What You’ll Learn

  • AI fundamentals - what AI can and cannot do, explained without jargon
  • The government AI landscape - CDDO guidance, the AI framework, and cross-government strategy
  • Ethical considerations - bias, transparency, accountability, and public trust
  • Procurement of AI services - how to buy AI responsibly through government frameworks
  • 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

Who This Programme Is For
