About this listen

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how governments work—from automating services to predicting needs before they arise. But along with the promise of greater efficiency and accountability come real risks: bias, loss of transparency, and erosion of public trust.

In this episode, we explore how cities and nations are using AI to improve decision-making, service delivery, and oversight—and what happens when they get it wrong.

We’ll unpack what it means to build an “AI-ready culture” inside government, why trust—not technology—is the hardest part of adoption, and how new frameworks like the EU AI Act are reshaping the rules of the game.

Join us as we look at the real-world tension between efficiency and ethics, and ask: can AI make government more human—or just more mechanical?
