DSC’s AI working group updates

See below for key links and updates from the DSC AI team.

Our internal AI team is working on a number of AI related projects at the moment, setting and developing our internal policies on AI, identifying ways and the tools we can use to make our work easier and more effective, and of course looking at how we can help our beneficiaries to understand, use, and make the most use of AI themselves.

This blog will be updated regularly and include a mix of short updates from the team and links to articles, tools or resources that they come across and might be useful.
