247 - Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to occupy a strategic space in the public sector as well. With a focus on assisting municipalities in formulating more efficient policies, Sebrae launched, last Friday (25), during the event Transforming Together, held in Brasilia, the course AI in practice for public managersThis information comes from the Sebrae News Agency.
Completely online and free, the course lasts four hours and offers a training path divided into three modules: AI fundamentals, application in municipal management, and development of projects focused on the efficiency of public administration. In addition to presenting basic concepts, the content addresses risks, benefits, legal implications, ethical principles, and criteria for the safe and responsible use of the technology.
"During the Transforming Together"We present ways to support local public administration in improving the business environment and generating opportunities for the local economy to flow better. In this course, we bring together the most advanced practices in the world to help managers leverage small businesses in their territories," said the technical director of Sebrae, Bruno Quick.
During the opening of the final day of the event, the manager of the Sebrae Solutions Unit, Eduardo Curado, emphasized that the initiative aims to broaden managers' perspectives on innovation in the public sector. "Artificial Intelligence is already a reality and will become increasingly necessary. We could fall behind if we don't start learning," declared Curado. He also highlighted that the AI course aimed at small businesses, launched previously, is already among the three most accessed on the Sebrae platform.
According to Curado, the training allows managers to have an autonomous experience, done at their own pace, with continuous support from the virtual assistant Aivy. “We want managers to interact intentionally. The learning path is structured to enable them to understand and apply Artificial Intelligence in an ethical, safe, and strategic way to optimize management,” he explained.
Among those participating in the launch was Felipe Mussalém, president of the Municipal Agency for Economic and Social Development (Amdes) of São Luís (MA). According to him, the course comes at an opportune time and has the potential to democratize the use of AI in city governments. “We, as managers, are concerned with the field, embedded within the territory, seeking to make our public policy as efficient as possible. Therefore, demystifying artificial intelligence is very important, because with AI we have a much more robust data environment,” stated Mussalém.
The course is available on the Sebrae platform and can be accessed by any public manager interested in improving the use of technology in local management. For more information and registration, visit: AI in practice for public managers.
