‘expl[ai]n’ workshop – AI awareness building workshop for local authority staff

Last month, we launched expl[ai]n – our pilot AI awareness building workshop for local authority staff! The workshop brought together staff from a variety of departments across Dublin City Council and looked at knowing and understanding Traditional AI & Generative AI, determining the risk levels of using AI in various scenarios, and examining opportunities and challenges that could come from using AI in a local authority. This awareness building workshop will increase public sector knowledge about the potential to use AI to better city services.

As Artificial Intelligence is an increasingly topical technology tool, our workshop brought this information to DCC staffers to increase their knowledge and to create an environment where people could ask questions and learn more about AI. The expl[ai]n worksop was delivered through the Smart Docklands district: a unique partnership between Dublin City Council and the CONNECT Research Centre at Trinity College Dublin. 

Please reach out to the Smart Docklands Technology and Engagement Manager, Claudia Bailey (claudia@smartdocklands.ie), if you would be interested in booking an expl[ai]n workshop!
