Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this announcement. Please share with anyone you think
would be interested:

The Centre for Public Impact <https://www.centreforpublicimpact.org> is
investigating the way in which artificial intelligence will change outcomes
for citizens. We are interested in how the emerging tools can reshape the
way in which governments reach existing decisions as well how it can
reshape government itself.

*Work so far:*

We think AI will reshape government in two ways. Firstly, it will change
the speed, reliability and quality of existing government outcomes.
Secondly, it will allow us to rethink the way in which government itself is
structured. As the landscape rapidly changes around it, government needs to
think about these issues now or it risks missing out on the significant
benefits this technology offers.

There are, of course, significant risks for governments to mitigate when
implementing these tools. How will the quality of the outcomes be verified?
How can we be sure that the data used to fuel the outcomes is valid? How
can the government ensure the security of the tools and their underlying
datasets? And what can we do to control these tools?

*Get involved*

If you are working in government and interested in how AI applies to your
practice, please get in touch with us at: ai at centreforpublicimpact.org.
Alternatively, if you are an AI practitioner who thinks your tools can have
an application in government, please get in contact. For more information,
