Artificial Intelligence
Starting with Curiosity: A Beginner’s AI Guide for Public Servants
Led by: Jamie Kimes & Caleb Williams
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere—but what does it actually mean for your work in government? This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for public servants who are curious about AI but may also have questions, concerns, or hesitations. No technical background is required.
Together, we’ll explore what AI is (and isn’t), how it works behind the scenes, and how public servants can begin to navigate this rapidly evolving space with confidence, ethics, and purpose.
- Learn the different terms and acronyms related to AI—ML, DL, GenAI, NLP, LLM—and what they actually mean
- Discover how AI models “think,” make predictions, and where they can go wrong
- Explore the difference between common fears about AI and the real risks public servants should watch for
- Learn how to find your starting point in the AI landscape, based on your work and values
