Artificial intelligence algorithms and automation are reshaping governance, public sector decision-making and the delivery of public services in fundamental ways. AI algorithms are increasingly adopted by governments in critical domains, ranging from predictive policing or criminal justice to the automation of welfare. The digital transformation impacts citizens and their experience of government in consequential ways. This calls for the need to update traditional governance processes.
With this programme, we educate you, as the next generation of policymakers, officials or regulators, to develop a reflexive, analytical and technological understanding of both the opportunities and challenges presented by rise of AI and digital technologies in governance and society. You acquire both solid governance know-how and valuable technical skills.
Close supervision
Within the programme, there is a lot of interaction between students and lecturers. You receive close guidance in writing your papers and thesis, coupled with timely feedback. This way, you are trained to become a knowledgeable and valued professional to the public sector.
The start date of this programme is 1 September.
