AI4Gov Accelerate

AI4Gov Accelerate (AI4Gov-X) is shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence in public governance. Co-funded by the European Union (HaDEA agency) and led by top Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), this four-year project explores how AI can enhance policy development while upholding democratic values. The primary goal of AI4GOV-X is to develop an AI-focused online Master Program, providing participants with expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Spaces (DS), and Digital Governance Transformation (DGT). This project fosters collaboration between HEIs and public/private organizations across EU Member States and Associated States, bringing together leading international experts driving digital transformation. Beyond education, AI4GOV-X aims to establish AI4Scale, a distributed knowledge facility and innovation platform. The infrastructure will enable HEIs to share resources for hands-on AI, DS & DGT applications. It will connect key players in the EU GovTech ecosystem, opening doors for collaboration in public service innovation. To conclude, the project will strengthen and expand a global Network of Excellence in AI, DS & DGT through AI4Engine, a permanent AI-powered hub. AI4Engine will identify and connect top talent, researchers, innovators, and startups. It will anticipate trends and emerging developments in AI-driven public services, support continuous updates to the educational program, and facilitate stakeholder engagement with AI4Scale.
