SUMMARY:AI Governance and Freedom of Information in the Public Sector
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Overview\nThis programme provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving role and use of artificial intelligence (AI) within the public sector\, with a particular focus on governance\, transparency\, and Freedom of Information (FOI) obligations. It is designed to equip public sector professionals with the knowledge and practical insights required to responsibly adopt and use AI technologies while maintaining public trust and regulatory compliance. \nIt will begin by examining the regulatory and strategic landscape shaping the use of AI in the public service by providing an overview of the Guidelines for the Responsible Use of AI in the Public Service and will also discuss the recent publication of the government’s National Digital and AI Strategy in relation to the strategic objectives\, priorities\, and the broader vision for AI integration across public services. \nIt will outline both the opportunities and challenges of AI as a transformative tool to enhance service delivery while balancing key risks such as public trust\, accountability\, and transparency and provide practical guidance on how to be AI future-ready. \n\n\nThe second part of the seminar focuses on the intersection of AI and Freedom of Information\, highlighting the implications of AI-generated records and automated decision-making for transparency and public accountability. It will examine how AI-generated content such as prompts\, outputs\, and automated decision-making processes (e.g. grants or social benefits)—may fall within the scope of FOI requests.
