All public servants at all levels

Description

As organizations increasingly seek to adopt artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled and other digital tools, the foundations for their success depend on implementing strong, trustworthy data practices. Along with these new technological advances, public servants must also navigate a complex environment of risks, obstacles and legacy systems.

Hosted by the GC Data Community, this first event in the series will focus on simplifying the data strategies and systems needed to build trust and to support the responsible adoption of AI‑enabled and other digital tools. The event will also include best practices for the public service for improving interoperability and informing decision-making with trusted data in an evolving digital environment.

Participants will gain practical guidance on allocating limited resources and on the data governance practices needed to manage, share, and protect data ethically and responsibly.
