Beyond ChatGPT: Understanding the impact of generative AI in local government

Thursday 22 June at 2pm AEST

By now, there’s a good chance staff in your Council are using ChatGPT as a time-saver and research tool – either officially or in the background.


What you mightn’t realise is that ChatGPT is just the beginning. There are now dozens of free, publicly available tools that use generative AI in everything from translating documents to manipulating images, producing presentation slides, generating voice-overs and much more.


In Australia, we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface on the rules required to manage these tools to address risks such as data security, privacy and copyright – let alone ethical issues and potential risks to credibility and reputation.


Join local government communication and credibility specialist Dr Neryl East for this free session where she’ll give you a snapshot of the breadth of generative AI tools already available (with more coming online every day) and the issues you need to be aware of right now as a local government leader.


This webinar is for anyone in a local government leadership role who wants more clarity about what generative AI tools like ChatGPT are, how they work, and what the implications are for councils around Australia.


You’ll take away:
 

  • A new awareness of key generative AI tools, well beyond ChatGPT
  • A deeper understanding of the benefits and risks of integrating generative AI into your key operations, such as development assessment letters, policy/reporting writing and external communication
  • Heightened appreciation of the governance requirements and your next steps
     

This session is on Thursday 22 June from 2 – 3pm AEST and will be delivered via Zoom.
