Recent improvements in artificial intelligence have significantly increased the gap between government policy and leading practices. AI is changing norms and business models throughout society, demanding new and effective policy responses from government on subjects with little real precedence. While government struggles to adapt to the rapid pace of change AI brings new solutions as well, offering the potential to change how policy is made by offering new tools and methods of policy development. This one-day course is designed for policy practitioners in government who are looking to get ahead of the curve and put AI to work for Canadians. Designed by policy practitioners, for policy practitioners, the course is easily accessible for those with a limited baseline knowledge of AI while also providing relevant policy insights for those who have an intermediate skill level.
