Using AI to deliver public goods and services now comes with the expectation of co-creation and stakeholder engagement.

Companies, international organisations and public bodies are under growing pressure to embed stakeholder engagement and co-creation in AI governance.

But as a non-technical leader, how do you engage your community in the development of an AI solution in an authentic and meaningful way?

Leading AI Through Co-Creation is a brand-new executive programme, to be held here in Oxford on 29 November – 4 December. Over the six days, leaders will gain the knowledge and practical frameworks required to understand AI projects and how to bring communities into the heart of the design, co-creating more effective, sustainable and responsible AI solutions.
