NewAI in Government: From Hype to Honest Impact

Artificial Intelligence is generating significant interest across government, yet much of the conversation remains shaped by hype rather than practical understanding. Public sector organisations are increasingly encountering the gap between ambitious expectations and the realities of implementation. This webinar provides clear, practical guidance to help bridge that gap. 

  • AI continues to attract significant hype and is often positioned as a universal solution.
  • Public sector organisations are increasingly facing the gap between expectation and the complexity of real-world implementation.
  • There is a clear need for transparent, practical guidance to support responsible and effective AI adoption.
