Join Michelle Dunlop from Simpson Grierson, to explore the opportunities and legal challenges of using AI across local government. This is the first in a series of webinars on AI in local government.
In this session you will receive:

We understand councils are at different stages with their use and exploration of AI and have their own policies. This webinar is designed to provide guidance on using AI safely and responsibly, focusing on legal, ethical, and regulatory considerations. The content covered is intended to complement individual approaches and includes strategies for mitigating risks.
