This webinar is ideal for:

• Clerks, RFOs, Councillors & Council Staff who are curious about the long-term direction of AI in local government and how future technology might mix with day-to-day council operations.

Local councils are increasingly exploring how artificial intelligence might support their work. But if these tools keep developing at their current pace, how might our day-to-day work, our policies, and our community interactions look in ten years?

As Danny Moody, Executive Officer for the Northamptonshire Association of Local Councils, recently noted:

"Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be the most transformative force to shape the parish and town council sector over the next decade. It is not a question of whether councils will be affected, but how deeply and how soon. The sector stands at a crossroads: embrace AI and thrive or ignore it and risk falling behind the rest of society."

To explore these ideas and what they mean in practice, Scribe Academy is bringing together a panel featuring NALC, regional county associations, and sector-specialist digital providers, using the recent ERNLLCA AI articles as a jumping-off point.

This isn’t a technical lecture or a pitch about the digital revolution. Instead, it’s a relaxed roundtable discussion sharing thoughts, predictions, and considerations about the future of AI in local council work.

You will discover:

• How AI tools could evolve to better support local councils, streamline workflows, and ease administrative burdens over the next decade.
• The practical challenges of AI, from data accuracy and fact-checking to maintaining public trust.
• How the sector can successfully adopt new digital tools without losing the vital, personal connection at the heart of local government.
