The role that artificial intelligence and automation can play in public services took centre stage at a recent UKAuthority event
Automation, or robotic process automation (RPA), is increasingly being used across the sector for routine processes, freeing up staff time to perform more meaningful roles. Meanwhile, the power of artificial intelligence is growing.
UKAuthority’s AI and Bots4Good conference – with speakers from across the public sector and industry experts – explored how these technologies will be core to the public sector as we move forward, how can they be applied successfully and discussed the ethical and legal complexities in three 90-minute sessions on 24, 25, 26 November.
