Public sector skills development

Public sector skills development

This thematic area measures steps countries have taken to support skills development in relation to responsible AI within the civil service and judiciary.

Skills development can be defined as the ‘acquisition of work-related skills and competencies through employment education and training’. Although skills development can be generally understood as ‘basic education, initial training and lifelong learning’, in the context of the workforce, it refers to the development of competencies that are necessary to perform ‘a trade or occupation in the labor market’.

Background

In the context of AI, skills development refers to the technical knowledge, capabilities and proficiencies that are required to ‘successfully integrate AI into functions’ across various industries, in both the public and private sectors. Note, this should not be interpreted to include educational curriculum provided at the tertiary level.

Skills development programmes could be in the form of: 

Capacity building programmes for civil servants or government personnel working in units/departments deploying AI systems.

Training programmes for judges and other members of the judiciary on AI- related laws and regulations.

Change of competency requirements to include AI-related skills 

Introduction of courses such as coding, robotics, programming, etc. for civil servants specifically. 

Provision of bursaries and scholarships on AI courses to civil servants outside of the tertiary education environment.

Introduction of activities such as tech challenges, competition, tech events, apprenticeship, internships that encourage the uptake of courses, in relation to AI, across the civil service etc.

Relevance

Concerns about AI's impact on the labor market are as significant as the questions surrounding the skills needed for integrating AI technologies into various industries. Because AI can be applied across a range of fields and sectors, there has been increased attention towards increasing levels of AI literacy across various sectors, not just for people involved in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Further, the rapid uptake of AI use by governments across the world demands that basic skills such as computing, coding, programming and robotics, be fully integrated into skills development programmes in the civil service to ensure personnel not only understand how to use these systems, but also understand how to apply them in a responsible manner. Accordingly, skills development programmes in AI not only need to focus on building the technical competencies, but also knowledge around AI ethics principles and practices.
