Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how we work across the Government of Canada — but what does that really mean for public servants? This engaging morning session will kick off with a panel discussion exploring the evolving AI landscape in the GC, including the skills employees need to thrive, how to prepare as AI tools becoming part of daily work life, responsible use of AI and what to expect as AI tools evolve.
Following the panel, hear from a lineup of departments in a series of fast-paced “AI Speed Talks.” Each will showcase how they’re leveraging AI to drive innovation, improve services, and solve real operational challenges. From early adopters to emerging success stories, these presentations will highlight practical applications, lessons learned, and what’s next on the horizon for AI in the public service.
Join us to gain insight, inspiration, and a clearer understanding of how AI is reshaping the future of government work — and where you fit in.
