AI, Automation & Bots4Good 2024

Wednesday 27 November to Friday 29 November

Time: 11:00 - 12:30 each morning via Teams Live

Boosting public service capability with intelligent automation and bots

Automation of business processes have delivered savings, released staff from the drudgery of repetitive tasks and - far from replacing them - has empowered them to deal with the complex where only the human touch will do. Does the addition of AI and ML now offer a new opportunity for intelligent automation? Meanwhile, can AI-powered automation and a new generation of intelligent chatbots deliver a step change in the way we approach the delivery of health and public services?

Join us LIVE over three 90-minute sessions on Wednesday 27th, Thursday 28th and Friday, 29th November (11:00-12:30) as public sector leaders and industry experts showcase what can be achieved and take part in lively discussions and Q&A sessions with delegate participation too.
