Event Summary

Wales is advancing a clear, values-led vision for artificial intelligence within a wider programme of digital transformation across public services and the private sector.  As organisations increasingly integrate data, digital infrastructure and emerging technologies, AI is becoming central to how services are designed, delivered and improved. 

Join Policy Insight Wales’ inaugural Delivering the AI Plan and Digital Transformation Wales Conference to explore next steps for policy including the AI Cymru: Shaping a Smarter, Fairer, More Prosperous Wales Plan and how Wales is translating national ambitions into practical delivery.  

Grounded in Wales’ strategic priorities for AI and digital innovation, we will explore how coordinated investment in data, cloud infrastructure and service design is enabling the responsible adoption of AI. From improving productivity and economic resilience to enhancing frontline services, understand how digital transformation provides the foundation on which AI can be safely and effectively deployed. 

Spotlighting the four key themes from the AI Plan, economic growth, skills and education, equitable delivery, and trust and governance, hear directly from practitioners delivering change on the ground. From cloud migration and modernised data infrastructure to AI-assisted diagnostics in health and automation in local government, explore how organisations are moving from strategy to implementation. 

We will explore the role of Digital Services for Wales, gaining insight on how user-centred design and digital standards are supporting scalable, joined-up services. 

Wales is positioning itself as a hub for digital and AI-enabled innovation. You will hear how investment in advanced manufacturing, semiconductor capabilities, digital infrastructure and innovation clusters can support business growth and attract inward investment. Understand how organisations of all sizes can adopt emerging technologies to improve productivity, scale operations and remain competitive in a changing global landscape. 

Addressing skills remains critical. With demand for digital and AI capability continuing to grow, we will explore how education and workforce strategies are evolving to meet need. Gai insight on developing digital competence across schools, expanding AI training within the public sector workforce, and closer collaboration between further and higher education and industry to strengthen Wales’ talent pipeline. 

Central to Wales’ approach is a strong commitment to ethical, inclusive and trustworthy AI. Explore how organisations are ensuring that adoption supports fairness, reduces inequality and reflects Welsh language and cultural priorities, underpinned by principles of social partnership and fair work. Gain clarity on emerging governance frameworks, national guidance on responsible AI use, and the importance of maintaining public trust as innovation accelerates. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve, connect with peers from across Wales, and understand what delivering AI-enabled transformation means in practice for your sector.
