Apologies for cross-posting] We are organising and looking for speakers / panelists to join one of our leading panels at the mobileGov World Summit 2018 and Global mobileGov Awards, to be held in Brighton UK, during June 14-15, at the Hilton Metropole. 

Titles and short descriptions of the panels:
 
Artificial Intelligence  and public sector workforce: job displacement vs job creation
AI has already a substantial impact on government work - AI is used in automating mundane tasks and helping handle complex and time-consuming tasks and just like with earlier technologies, AI in government is promised to reduce costs, free time and deliver better and  faster services to the citizens. But how will AI affect public sector jobs – will they change, disappear, will new jobs be created? How fast will these job changes occur? And more importantly - what kind of workforce planning does introduction of AI in government require?

Artificial Intelligence and inclusion
One of the great promises of artificial intelligence (AI) is its objectiveness allowing making decisions and predictions free from gender, age, racial  and other prejudices. But the recent years has shown that AI-powered algorithms adopt and reinforce social stereotypes and thus creating biases in inclusiveness of the Public Sector IT solutions.
How does AI produce biases, what are the consequences? How to recognize biases in AI, remove them and  how to avoid them at all? Is there a need for  new laws and regulations to make AI and machine learning technologies inclusive? What is the potential of AI in achieving a wider social inclusion? 

Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity
One of the most critical issue in Public Sector IT is  cybersecurity. AI will bring in new dimensions to fight against possible arms cased by security limitations and  also develop the domain of solutions for security. This session will explore questions such as: How AI is used by governments in security today and what are its future uses for dealing with cybersecurity threats? What are the possible drawbacks of using AI in cybersecurity? What are the potential threats from the use of AI in cyberattacks and how to prevent and mitigate them?

Artificial Intelligence in healthcare - state of field, future uses, unintended consequences
mobileHealth has always one of the fastest growing area in the Public Sector IT domain. Yet we are not very sure how AI will influence these developments, especially when IoT has real time intelligence. This session aims to explore answers to questions similar to: What is the current scale of AI adoption in public healthcare? What efficiencies does the use of AI  produce in healthcare? What are the specific barriers to AI adoption in public healthcare? What are the unintended consequences of AI use in healthcare? How to manage them?

We are looking for experts and solution providers who can present ideas and working examples related to the proposed topic.

We are also open for new proposals of panels or special sessions in your area of expertise.

If interested, please send an email to me or co...@m4life.org with a brief on your potential contribution to this exciting topic in mobileGov and current advances in the public sector IT.
