The Trans - Tasman Business Circle, together with Adobe, invites you or your nominee to a GovTech roundtable focused on the safe and responsible adoption of AI in New Zealand’s public sector featuring Paul Littlefair, Chief Digital and Technology Officer, Kiwibank.

With the Public Service AI Framework now in market, agencies are moving from principle to practice. Leaders across government are navigating how to deploy AI to lift productivity and service outcomes, while maintaining public trust, transparency and robust governance.

Drawing on his experience leading digital and technology transformation at scale, Paul will help frame the discussion, sharing practical insights on responsible AI adoption, governance, and capability uplift in complex, highly regulated environments.

This session will explore how agencies are approaching AI in practice - including risk management, skills and capability, bias, data provenance and assurance - and how leaders can enable innovation while meeting rising expectations from Ministers, regulators and the public.

The discussion will be practical, peer-led and held under Chatham House Rule, providing a trusted environment for open exchange among senior decision-makers.
