AI4Gov is a leading international ecosystem of research, training, and innovation opportunities aiming to use AI to improve public services, globally. Our goal is to contribute to the empowerment of public administrations, helping them transform how public services are delivered: using artificial intelligence, and fostering a human-centric approach to service design. To enable it, we train the new generation of functional specialists in AI. Through the AI4Gov Master Program, now in its third edition, we are creating a growing ecosystem of stakeholders (researchers, public administrators, corporate partners) to work with us to achieve the best use of AI for the public sector.
Our Mission
The AI4Gov Knowledge Hub will create an ecosystem (of professionals, researchers, companies, governments, innovators) who works with public administrations to help transform their current way of working. Facilitating the introduction of new technologies such as AI and data management, governance and sharing, as well as a renewed way of understanding and facing complex public challenges: humanistic, systemic, focused on values.
Our Vision
A functional public administration, which makes use of new technologies such as AI and data to empower public servants in their ability to provide better services to citizens. Helping, in the long term, to solve the socioeconomic challenges facing today’s society. We envision Public Administrations globally who provide better services, embedding the needs of citizens at their core. Who work closely with civil society to foresee their needs and solve their challenges. Who deliver their services in a transparent manner whilst making the most of public data, and who thrive in creating public-private spaces for innovation and participatory design of these services.
Team
Functional specialists, i.e., experts with a knowledge on AI and a specific domain will make the difference in the implementation of a next generation of AI-based services of public interest.
