Course overview

Public sector work involves a large volume of documents that are produced again and again: official letters, internal memos, meeting minutes, performance reports and replies to citizens. Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and NotebookLM can cut the time spent drafting and summarising this work considerably. But government agencies hold citizens' data, so using AI has to start with knowing which kinds of data may be used, which must never be entered, and that officers remain responsible for checking every piece of work that goes out.

This course takes civil servants and local government staff through hands-on work with sample documents, starting with data classification and PDPA principles, then prompting for government work, drafting letters and summarising meetings, and searching regulations and manuals with NotebookLM. It continues with budget data analysis, project proposals, public communication and an AI usage guideline for the agency, and closes with a 30-day adoption plan. (2 days, 6 hours per day, 12 hours in total, Beginner level.)

Curriculum

Course Details

A 2-day, 6-hours-per-day hands-on course (09:00-16:00) at Beginner level for government and local government staff, with no AI background needed. Learners use ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and NotebookLM with their own accounts or accounts approved by their agency, and every lab uses sample documents with no real citizen data. Learners take home the course handbook, a prompt library for government work, a checklist for reviewing AI drafts, an AI usage guideline template and a 30-day adoption plan form.

  • Use the agency's own templates as examples to get the correct letter structure
  • Have AI check language, concision and politeness
  • Always double-check names, positions, figures, dates and any references AI may invent
  • Lab: draft a letter from a sample brief, then review it with a checklist

Section 5: Lab: Meeting Summaries and Minutes

  • Transcribe with tools the agency allows, and what to watch for when recording meetings
  • Summarise into minutes: issues, resolutions, owners and deadlines
  • Extract follow-up actions and draft a circular reporting the meeting results
  • Lab: turn sample meeting notes into minutes using a standard form

Section 6: Lab: Searching and Summarising Regulations with NotebookLM

  • Build a notebook from public regulations, operating manuals and circulars
  • Ask questions with cited sources and always open the original passage
  • Summarise into comparison tables, FAQs and executive briefs
  • Lab: build a knowledge base of operating manuals from sample documents
Day 2 Budgets, Public Services and an Adoption Plan

Section 7: Lab: Budget Data and Performance Reports

  • Have AI tidy data, spot anomalies and write Excel or Google Sheets formulas
  • Summarise spending against plan from a sample table in language executives can read easily
  • Produce charts and narrative for performance reports
  • AI can miscalculate, so always check figures against the source data
  • Lab: analyse sample budget data and summarise it in a one-page report

Section 8: Lab: Writing Project Proposals and Budget Requests

  • Outline a project: rationale, objectives, indicators and activities
  • Use AI to brainstorm, set indicators and analyse project risks
  • Draft a preliminary cost estimate, then have the responsible officer check it against agency rules
  • Lab: draft a project document from a sample local government brief

Section 9: Lab: Public Services and Public Relations

  • Draft FAQs, announcements and press releases in plain language
  • Adapt messages for the agency's website, Facebook page and LINE Official Account
  • Categorise sample complaints and draft polite, clear replies
  • Never send complainants' data to AI, and have an authorised officer approve before publishing
  • Lab: build an FAQ set for a sample public service

Section 10: Workshop: An AI Usage Guideline for Your Agency

  • Key risks: data leaks, wrong information, bias and copyright infringement
  • Define approved tools, permitted data types and who approves work
  • Disclosing where AI was used and keeping an audit trail

Frequently asked questions

How should you classify data and mask personal information before using AI with government documents?

Start by sorting documents by classification, such as public, internal and confidential, and use AI only with data your agency's rules allow. Then mask anything that identifies a person before pasting it into a tool, such as names, national ID numbers, addresses and phone numbers, replacing them with placeholders, and review the output before using it. This follows the PDPA principle of using only the personal data that is necessary.

How do you use AI to draft an official government letter in the correct format?

Give the prompt the full picture: the type of document, such as an external letter or internal memo, the sender, recipient, subject, reasons and the action you want, and attach your agency's template or a sample letter so the AI follows the format and register. Then review in order: facts, figures, names, positions, cited regulations and wording, because AI drafts quickly but officials remain responsible for the content.

How does NotebookLM help you search regulations and circulars?

NotebookLM lets you upload your own documents, such as regulations, manuals and circulars, and ask questions in plain language. Its answers draw only on the sources you added and show citations you can click to see the original passage, which makes it well suited to checking what the rules say on a matter or summarising long documents. Always open the cited source text before relying on it in real work.

Who is the AI for Government and Public Sector course for, and what should I know beforehand?

It suits civil servants and staff of government agencies and state enterprises, local government personnel, officers in records, finance, planning and budgeting, and supervisors who need to set AI guidelines for their teams. It is a beginner course: general computer and office software skills are enough, and no programming or AI knowledge is required.

What will I be able to do after the AI for Government and Public Sector course?

You will be able to classify data and mask personal information before using AI, draft official letters, memos and meeting minutes and review them systematically, search and summarise regulations with NotebookLM, use AI to analyse budget data and write project proposals, and draft an AI usage guideline and a 30-day plan for your unit. Participants receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number that can be verified online.

Can the AI for Government and Public Sector course be run for our own team?

Yes, it can be run in-house for your agency, with lab examples adapted to your team's work, such as the types of letters, regulations or reports you handle regularly, while all labs still use mock documents with no real citizen data.
