AI, VR, robots and automation - What does the next big digital revolution mean for the work of the public sector?

ABOUT THIS EVENT 

The next wave of the digital revolution has the potential to disrupt the work of the public sector. 

Advances in technology are making it possible to dramatically expand the range of services that can now be delivered digitally to citizens. 

They are also creating new tools that can improve the advice, analysis and insight that the sector provides to political leadership and the community.  

What are the challenges and opportunities that this revolution will create for the public sector, and what can we learn from how these changes are playing out in other sectors and around the world?

This event is part of our Work of the Future series of events which explores the future of work, the workforce and the workplace. 

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

The ability to separate hype from reality is a critical public sector capability. 

Attending this forum will help you to understand the scale of change that technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, will create in the work of the public sector, as well as the positive and negative implications of those changes.    

At least 25% of this event is allocated to questions from the floor, meaning that you will have the opportunity to play an active part in this discussion.
