AI & Data4Good

Wednesday 18 October to Friday 20 October

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

How can we best unlock the power of data and AI across the health and public sector for the public good? Do we have strong enough data foundations in place today to train and deliver AI?

The fundamental role and importance of data to improving public services has long been recognised but issues remain around the quality of data, standards for integration, information governance, and the development of both skills and confidence in data use. 

This virtual conference explores how best to explore data to deliver valuable insights on people, places and organisations and build a foundation for effective, reliable AI. It will bring together public sector leaders to share examples of what can be achieved with the opportunity for discussion and Q&A sessions too.
