About this event
As AI adoption accelerates across government, public sector organisations face mounting pressure to develop and implement AI strategies. But is our data culture up to the challenge?
In this talk, we’ll walk you through the work being done at DCMS and how building robust data capability foundations can pave the way for successful AI adoption. We’ll share insights from our journey, touching on developing a comprehensive data strategy, implementing a data catalogue, and working towards a cross-sector data platform that enables effective data sharing.
We’ll explore:
- How a responsible, explainable, and accountable data strategy can unlock AI opportunities
- Practical steps for transitioning from basic data management to automated machine learning
- Strategies for building AI capabilities through effective workforce development and upskilling
Join us for a practical discussion on turning data readiness into AI readiness in the public sector.
