This course explores the transformative potential of Big Data analytics and Artificial Intelligence in reimagining how public policy is formulated, moving from traditional top-down models to dynamic, evidence-based, and collaborative co-creation. Participants will examine how these technologies can be harnessed to analyze complex societal problems, model policy outcomes, and engage citizens and stakeholders in meaningful dialogue to design more effective and responsive solutions. The curriculum balances technical understanding with critical assessment, addressing both the immense opportunities for improving public service efficiency and civic participation and the significant challenges related to data ethics, algorithmic bias, privacy, and digital exclusion.
