Data, AI and Public Sector Governance

Virtual conference
September 15, 2022, start time: 13:00

The conference brings together researchers, public sector authorities and experts in the field of data and AI. The idea of the conference is to open up avenues for sharing research-based accounts on how to develop responsible public sector governance in the digital era, distribute good practices and give sparks for developing and discussing administrative practices in a localizable way. The focus of the conference is on possibilities and challenges of developing and utilising AI systems and large data sets for public governance. To whom are we developing the systems? Who benefits? What kind of practical work is needed? How to foster data literacy and privacy of individuals? The conference is aimed for both people from the academia and public sector in Global South and North.

Conference is arranged by DataLit, University of Helsinki and FCAI in partnership with UNITAR, and together with prominent researchers and research groups from Finland.
