Literacy Training: Introduction into AI for the Common Good

Description

Data, data processing and artificial intelligence (AI) are expected to play a transformative role for both the public and the private sector. Public entities and administrations will not be able to leverage the opportunities of the new digital ecosystem without a proper and sufficiently practical understanding of what these new technologies are about and how they could be impacting their business.
This training provides help to understand the value of AI and its relevance for your professional environment. It will showcase some inspirational use cases to show the day-to-impact. It will help decision-makers from the public sector understand how to identify opportunities & threats and start building a responsible and sustainable AI strategy.

This training was designed for decision-makers from public organizations that want to fully grasp the opportunities and understand the threats posed by AI technologies, as well as the associated (new) European regulations on data and artificial intelligence (GDPR, Data Governance Act, Data Act, Regulations on European data spaces). The training is also open to other audiences who would find the use cases and examples relevant to their day-to-day practice.
