Webinar – Practical AI for Local Government: Law, Ethics, and Successful Rollouts

Practical AI for Local Government explored how councils can adopt AI responsibly and effectively. Nick highlighted real-life examples that were both fascinating and practical, showing exactly how high-level principles can be translated into day-to-day AI management.

Participants took away clear guidance on key areas:

  • Legal Guardrails: Privacy, procurement, records, and IP rules, including the latest OAIC guidance.
  • Ethical Frameworks: Applying AI Ethics Principles to ensure fairness, transparency, and human oversight.
  • Project Selection: Identifying low-risk, high-benefit pilot projects before scaling.
  • Essential Documents: Preparing AI User Guides, Governance Frameworks, Privacy Impact Assessments, and citizen transparency notices.
  • Rollout Playbook: Moving from pilot to business-as-usual with testing, training, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
