ABOUT
Public services are evolving fast — not just because of digital transformation, but because AI is redefining how services, policies, and regulations come to life. Generative AI has already shifted front-end experiences that citizens and businesses encounter. But behind these interfaces, service teams face new tensions: How do they balance AI efficiency with human judgment? How do they keep public services accessible, empathetic, and trusted — while keeping pace with technology?
For internal design, innovation, and service teams in government, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity. Beyond just applying design thinking, how do they ensure services remain relevant to policy stakeholders, operational teams, and the public?
Join us for “Versus: Humans vs AI”, a provocative and practical workshop during Singapore Design Week. ThinkPlace explores future public service scenarios — from straightforward citizen services to cross-agency and regulatory complexities. Using ThinkPlace’s Service Design Audit Framework, you’ll learn how to assess which touchpoints can be augmented by AI, when human expertise is critical, and how to design systems that bring the best of both together.
This is not just about AI potential — it’s about equipping you with a design approach that stays strategic, responsive, and human, even in an AI-driven future.
