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.

Contributions create the melody in the case method of teaching. 🎶

Sessions move away from one-way instruction, with learners stepping into the shoes of public leaders facing difficult, real-world decisions, working together to assess trade-offs, apply theory and decide what they would do.

In ‘More jazz than classical music ’, Vibhuti Gour explores how case-method instructors must be ready to listen, respond and improvise, creating the conditions for an active method of learning that connects theory to practice.
