Overview
Artificial Intelligence in Governance and Policy Design
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming professional practice — and policymaking is no exception. Across the policymaking cycle, AI can analyse vast datasets to identify and address public concerns, simulate policy scenarios and their implications, and accelerate the time it takes officials to master new and complex topics. In the UK alone, tools such as Redbox, Consult, and Parlex are already enhancing the policymaking process — and the opportunities for innovation are only set to grow.
Yet, AI also brings risks and limitations. While it can synthesise complex information, it can also produce inaccurate or biased outputs, leading to unfair assumptions about certain demographic groups. Responses may be formulaic, fail to capture emerging developments, or overlook cutting-edge and novel ideas. AI often struggles to provide the nuance that policymaking demands. This means policymakers must act as critical interpreters — adding context, challenging bias, and drawing on up-to-date, real-world evidence to maximise AI’s potential while safeguarding against its shortcomings.
This 3-day programme gives participants a critical, practical understanding of how AI can be integrated into policymaking — and the governance safeguards needed to manage risk. Drawing on real-world examples from around the globe, you will learn when, how, and why AI can complement policymaking while ensuring human judgement, critical thinking, and ethical responsibility remain at the core.
Through a blend of guided learning, case studies, and interactive workshops, public and policy officials will explore the opportunities and challenges of using AI in the policy process. By the end of the course, you will have the skills and insight to use AI as a powerful ally — enhancing, not replacing, human expertise — to deliver better, fairer, and more effective policy outcomes.
