Responsible AI in Public Administration Training Course

 Responsible AI in Public Administration Training Course 

Introduction 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming public administration by enhancing decision-making, improving service delivery, and enabling predictive governance. However, the deployment of AI in government settings comes with critical ethical, social, and regulatory responsibilities. Public administrators must understand principles of responsible AI, including fairness, transparency, accountability, inclusivity, and compliance with laws and ethical standards. Responsible AI in Public Administration Training Course provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills to design, deploy, and govern AI systems that meet these requirements while promoting efficiency, citizen trust, and public value. 

Participants will explore advanced AI concepts, data governance frameworks, algorithmic auditing, bias mitigation techniques, and human-centric AI design. Through case studies, practical exercises, and scenario-based simulations, learners will develop the capability to implement responsible AI strategies across various government functions. The course emphasizes regulatory compliance, ethical considerations, and the integration of AI with existing public administration processes, ensuring that AI solutions are both innovative and socially responsible.
