As demonstrated by the recent AI Safety Summit, the public sector is increasingly recognising that off-the-shelf Artificial Intelligence (AI) products and services could deliver transformational improvements to public services for both civil servants and citizens. For many departments and agencies however, adoption of AI is at an early stage and there is no established framework for responsible use of AI in delivery of services. That’s why PUBLIC was thrilled to partner with AWS to design and host an AI showcase featuring startups pitching innovative ideas across four core challenge areas - with the aim of exposing public sector stakeholders to a range of AI solutions that are designed to meet real-world problems. The showcase - which took place at PUBLIC Hall in Westminster on 6 December 2023 - was a productive half-day of startup pitching, sharing of insights by public sector leaders, and discussion. You can read more about the showcase, the selected startups, and insights shared by government leaders and other stakeholders present on the day in our post-event blog below!

Applications were called for innovative technology solutions that could address the following challenges:
Navigating public services or accessing information online can be difficult for citizens for a variety of reasons. AI-powered personalisation of online experiences can help connect service users with the services or information they are looking for much quicker and more effectively.
Good decision-making, whether when dealing with service users or internal policy discussions, relies on access to quality information. AI tools that gather and present information based on case-specific conditions can enhance productivity and optimise decision-making for civil servants.
