How AI is changing governance

26 March 2024

The topic of GGI's main monthly webinar for April will be How AI is changing governance.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is certainly in the news at present. More often than not, it is painted as something of a cartoon villain, picking up on the theme of 'the machines taking over’, which has long been manna for sci-fi writers and filmmakers but is now suddenly here in terrifying reality!

But what about the upside of AI? What might the potential be for improving governance and administrative effectiveness in large public service organisations? Could it even be a key to enabling the holy grail of increasing productivity levels in public service organisations and the wider economy?

Here to guide us through this technological maze are a number of experts from the worlds of strategy consulting and governance. We will be joined by:

  • Fenella McVey, Managing Director at Charterhouse Consulting
  • Charlie Helps, Head of Corporate Affairs/Trust Secretary at James Paget University Hospitals
  • Professor Andrew Corbett-Nolan, Chief Executive of Good Governance Improvement

Please email events@good-governance.org.uk should you have any queries.
