Councils nationwide are under increasing financial pressure and Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly considered a solution. However, as stewards of critical public services, public service staff and elected members cannot simply embrace the ‘go fast and break things’ mentality prevalent in many parts of the private sector. When they get it wrong, real people’s lives are impacted. Mutual Ventures have worked with council from the CCIN to develop a guidance framework based on cooperative principles to people assess AI's potential and suitability. It focuses on providing the basic knowledge necessary to ask pertinent questions and ensure the ethical and cooperative exploration and adoption of AI. This free webinar will explore this framework and its practical applications including: the main use cases for AI: the key enablers within an organisation; important risks and mitigations; and how to align the adoption of AI with ethical CCIN principles. The webinar will be Chaired by CCIN Chair Cllr Jim Robbins and will include contributions from Rob Gregory, Assistant Director Digital Transformation and Intelligence at Wigan Council, and Andrew Laird, the Chief Executive of Mutual Ventures, who co-led the production of the guidance framework.
