💡Have an idea for using #AI to enhance teaching and learning? We're offering up to £10,000 to support practical, educator-led projects exploring AI in education at @cam.ac.uk 📅 Applications close 24 September ➡️ www.ai.cam.ac.uk/calls/ai-for...

5⃣ Fix the foundations. Unlocking the full potential of #AI means strengthening the foundations of local government - from data and digital infrastructure to organisational capacity. AI should improve public services, not simply automate existing processes.

4⃣ AI should strengthen people, not replace them. The benefits of AI should be reinvested in the workforce, helping staff build new skills and deliver better services.

3⃣ AI should improve services for everyone. New AI technologies should make #publicservices more inclusive and accessible. This means ensuring people can get the right support, in the way that works best for them.

2⃣ Trust can't be an afterthought. Confidence in AI depends on transparency, accountability and meaningful public involvement at every stage of its development and deployment.

1⃣ Use AI where it makes a difference AI should only be introduced where it addresses a genuine public need and delivers measurable improvements to #publicservices. AI should enhance what people do - not replace them.
