AI in Local Government: The Public Sector AI Course ($49)

AI in Local Government is a self-paced, intermediate-level AI course priced at $49. It runs six modules, takes roughly 6 hours, and ends with a 20-question final assessment. A certificate is issued at a score of 70% or higher.

Public sector AI fails differently from private sector AI. The constraint is rarely capability and almost always accountability: procurement rules, records obligations, citizen data, and the need to explain a decision after the fact. This course is built around those constraints rather than around tool enthusiasm.

Who AI in Local Government Is For

Municipal and regional staff evaluating AI against public accountability requirements
Department leads who need AI to improve service delivery without creating new compliance exposure
Anyone responsible for citizen data who has been asked to "look into AI"

Curriculum: 6 Modules

Module 1: Foundations of AI in Government: What AI is and what it changes in a public sector context specifically.
Module 2: AI Tools for Local Government: The tool categories relevant to municipal work and how to assess them against procurement reality.
Module 3: Data Privacy and Security in Government AI: A dedicated module on privacy and security obligations, because this is where public sector AI projects most often stall.
Module 4: AI for Government Efficiency: Where AI genuinely reduces workload in service delivery, records handling, and internal processing.
Module 5: Future of AI in Local Government: How the landscape is likely to shift and what that means for planning cycles.
Module 6: Future-Proofing Government with AI: Building durable capability rather than a pilot that ends when the grant does.
Final Course Test: A 20-question assessment covering all modules. Score 70% or higher to receive your certificate.
