On 24 June, techUK’s Local Public Services Programme will be exploring the use of AI in local government and local public services. AI is transforming the public sector, presenting an opportunity to improve services for residents and better meet community needs. This transformation is happening at different paces and in different ways across councils around the country.
Event overview
Join us as we explore trends in AI implementation in local government, and how collaboration between suppliers and councils can drive better outcomes for residents.
Topics on the day will include:
- Insights from techUK member Tussell on local government AI procurement trends, highlighting where AI is being adopted, how it is being implemented, and the key suppliers involved
- Local government perspectives on the use of AI in local public services
- An exploration of AI use cases in local government
Who should attend
This webinar is ideal for suppliers of AI solutions into local government and for local government officials seeking to understand how AI can be implemented across their operations.
