Building trusting citizen relationships with the help of AI: Open Council Network case study - LGiU
How can AI be harnessed for the public good? That's one of the key questions on everyone's mind as we consider AI's potential for the future of local government. This case study explores the Open Council Network, a powerful example through its pioneering approach to increasing transparency between councils and citizens. It’s all about rebuilding trust by transforming how council information is shared.
