AI, Automation & Bots4Good 2024

Boosting public service capability with intelligent automation and bots

Automation of business processes have delivered savings, released staff from the drudgery of repetitive tasks and - far from replacing them - has empowered them to deal with the complex where only the human touch will do. Does the addition of AI and ML now offer a new opportunity for intelligent automation? Meanwhile, can AI-powered automation and a new generation of intelligent chatbots deliver a step change in the way we approach the delivery of health and public services?
