Implementing the AI Guidelines: A Practical Workshop for the Public Service is a one day course that responds to the evolving need for responsible and informed use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across the Irish public service. With the release of the Guidelines for the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Irish Public Service, this course is designed to help public service bodies (PSBs) understand and implement the guidelines in a practical and effective way.
Participants will gain practical insights into applying these guidelines when using externally sourced AI tools and when developing internal AI systems. The workshop addresses the broad spectrum of AI maturity in the public sector—from those new to AI to teams already exploring or deploying AI solutions. Through expert-led discussions and interactive case studies, participants will gain the knowledge and tools to navigate the ethical, legal, and operational aspects of adopting AI in their organisations.
