About the seminar

As the volume of global data surpasses traditional analytical capacities, artificial intelligence has become an indispensable tool for modern policy makers. This seminar provides an overview of the use of AI for policy. Specifically, it zooms in on how AI can assist by utilizing Machine Learning (ML) frameworks, from Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to Computer Vision (CV), to transform raw information into actionable policy evidence. 

Our researchers inform participants not only on how their research uses AI to derive at new findings and conclusion, but also how this research is used to directly inform governments to influence their policy process.

By the end of this seminar, participants will have a basic understanding of the various uses of AI for policy research.

This seminar targets policymakers, government officials and other relevant civil servants from national and regional administrations, officials from international organisations, entrepreneurs, professionals in the digital and other relevant sectors, representatives of civil society organisations, universities, research centres, think-tanks, as well as the general public.
