Event hub: Presentations and videos from our event looking at how artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, robotic process automation and bots can be used to help transform the business of public sector service delivery.
Artificial intelligence has been on the public sector horizon for years, but it has only now developed to the point where a handful of organisations are testing its potential.
Digital leaders need to start thinking now about the promise, and possible pitfalls, in harnessing this new technology.
UKAuthority's event, supported by Microsoft, Arcus Global and Vanad Enovation, explored how artificial intelligence, chat bots and robotic process automation could help transform public service delivery.
Delegates heard from pioneers in its application in public services. Speakers from Enfield, Aylesbury Vale councils, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board and NHS England provided delegates with peer to peer insight while speakers from Reform and Royal Society of Arts discussed its potential and key challenges. Microsoft, Arcus Global and Vanad Enovation explored the potential for bots and robotic process automation for today, tomorrow and beyond.
