The AI Enhanced Productivity track will explore how AI is transforming the way the public sector works—enabling faster decision-making, automating routine tasks, and unlocking new levels of operational efficiency. As workforce expectations shift and resourcing pressures increase, government agencies are turning to AI tools to improve outcomes without compromising quality or accountability. This track will feature real-world examples of how AI is being embedded into workflows—from intelligent document processing and chatbots to predictive analytics and workforce optimisation. Sessions will examine how to identify high-impact use cases, measure productivity gains, and manage change across both technical and non-technical teams. Sessions will also tackle the ethical and human implications of AI augmentation, ensuring that productivity doesn’t come at the expense of transparency or employee wellbeing.
