What’s In Store for 2024
Artificial Intelligence has long been a major topic of discussion in the public sector. For decades, leaders have discussed the best use cases for AI, how to fund it, and how to deploy it in Government to provide effective solutions for citizens and government employees alike.
AI for years has felt out of reach, but with recent advancements in technologies including Generative AI solutions, the power of AI to transform Canada’s economy, improve the way they work, and enhance their way of life.
Prime Minister Trudeau has recently announced a $2.4 billion package for the upcoming Budget 2024 to secure Canada’s AI advantage. These advancements aim to accelerate job growth in Canada’s AI sector and beyond, boost productivity by helping researchers and businesses develop and adopt AI and ensure this has been done responsibly.
In order to effectively meet this vision, it is mission critical for leadership in Canada to confer regularly with one another to meet and secure Canada’s AI vision. As such, PSN is proud to announce The AI Roadshow to bring together leaders from the Canadian Government, private sector, and academia to discuss the future of AI across the Government.
These are areas of focus we will explore at Public Sector Network’s AI Roadshow Canada. The half-day event will provide a unique opportunity to learn from public sector leaders across Canada to discuss AI, opportunities, challenges, and the way ahead for an AI-enabled Canadian Government.
