European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA)

For public administrations, adopting AI means more than learning new tools. It requires understanding the legal, ethical and governance frameworks that shape their responsible use. EIPA’s course helps EU public officials explore how to use AI confidently and critically, with human expertise and judgement at the centre of policy development. Understand how to: 🔸Apply principles of trustworthy and responsible AI. 🔸Evaluate AI-generated content for accuracy, bias and fitness for purpose. 🔸Identify when AI adds value and when human judgement must take precedence. 🔸Assess AI-based tools and systems with greater confidence. Combine conceptual grounding with hands-on practice in realistic policy scenarios.

From consultation datasets to stakeholder analysis, AI offers new ways to process information and support policy development. But how can public officials assess the accuracy, consistency and potential bias of AI-generated results? EIPA’s course AI in Policymaking: A Practical Guide for EU Public Officials explores practical applications of AI within the EU Better Regulation framework. Learn how to: 🔹Identify, collect and organise relevant evidence. 🔹Synthesise research and analyse stakeholder input. 🔹Detect regulatory gaps and test the consistency of findings. 🔹Apply triangulation and critical review to AI-generated outputs. Work through realistic policy scenarios and discover where AI can add value to your everyday work.

AI can help public officials gather evidence, analyse consultation responses, develop policy options and draft documents for decision-makers. The challenge is knowing how to apply it effectively across the policymaking cycle. EIPA’s course, AI in Policymaking: A Practical Guide for EU Public Officials, combines practical exercises with the principles of trustworthy and responsible AI use. You will explore how to: 🔹Gather and organise evidence from legislation, research and consultations. 🔹Analyse information and identify regulatory gaps. 🔹Draft policy briefs, options papers and executive summaries. 🔹Critically assess AI-generated outputs.
