Programme in Artificial Intelligence for Public Governance and Institutional Transformation

As artificial intelligence begins to reshape public administration, policymaking, public services, and institutional operations, governments face a growing need to develop internal capabilities that enable them to understand, govern, and strategically deploy these technologies.

This advanced programme is designed for public sector professionals, policymakers, institutional leaders, and government officials seeking to understand how artificial intelligence can be integrated into the structures, processes, and decision-making systems of modern public governance.

Building upon the foundational knowledge acquired in the Understanding Artificial Intelligence Ecosystems and Technologies programme, participants will explore the practical, organizational, ethical, regulatory, and strategic dimensions of AI adoption within public institutions. The course addresses topics such as AI governance frameworks, public sector transformation, digital government, smart cities, public service innovation, strategic foresight, systems thinking, data-driven policymaking, institutional resilience, and the future evolution of governance in the AI era.

Special attention is given to the European regulatory environment, emerging governance models, public sector implementation strategies, and the opportunities and challenges facing governments as they seek to balance innovation, accountability, transparency, and public trust.

The programme aims not only to explain how artificial intelligence works, but also to prepare public institutions to lead and manage the profound transformations that AI will bring to governance, administration, and society over the coming decades.

This programme is intended for professionals who already possess a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence and wish to apply that knowledge within the context of public governance and institutional transformation.
