During a virtual roundtable, hosted by Socitm, Socitm Advisory and Faerfield, AI experts and senior local government leaders joined forces to consider what this rapidly changing environment means for the sector.

In this paper you’ll find a summary of the key themes discussed; from awareness of AI within leaders, the ethics of AI, the biases and the unconscious bias, through to the data breaches that AI might cause. Skills and tools and how AI can be used to change local government, along with how AI-ready tools already embedded in local government may be used for greater benefit in the future. This paper covers it all.
