This week, from 13 to 17 July, experts and practitioners from 27 countries will gather in Vilnius to explore how artificial intelligence is changing transparency and anti-corruption measures. They will come together for the 17th annual Transparency International School on Integrity and the international OGP–Transparency Fellowship programme.
Since its launch in 2010, the Transparency International School on Integrity has brought together more than 2000 alumni from over 135 countries and has become the largest initiative of its kind in the world.
This year, the School places particular emphasis on the changes brought about by artificial intelligence, as well as the opportunities and risks associated with it. During practical sessions, participants will also explore insights from behavioural science, the evolving role of oversight institutions, institutional reforms, strategic corruption, anti-money laundering, democratic education, and other timely topics.
Experts from Colombia, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom will share their experience with participants.
Implemented together with the Open Government Partnership, the OGP-Transparency Fellowship programme will bring together experienced professionals from the public sector, civil society organisations, and the media. Participants will meet with representatives of seventeen institutions and organisations in Lithuania and Latvia to explore topics including open decision-making, data-driven risk management, lobbying transparency, and more.
“I am delighted that Vilnius will once again bring together experts and practitioners from around the world to explore innovative ways to strengthen transparency and better manage corruption risks. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape many aspects of our lives, now is the time to explore how these technologies can strengthen transparency and anti-corruption efforts. I hope both programmes will provide an excellent opportunity to learn from different countries’ experiences, exchange ideas, and inspire new initiatives in Lithuania”, said Ingrida Kalinauskienė, CEO of Transparency International Lithuania.
The Transparency School on Integrity is organised by Transparency International Lithuania in cooperation with Mykolas Romeris University Law School. The School will take place at the M. K. Čiurlionis National School of Arts in Vilnius.
This year’s School is supported by the Open Government Partnership, the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, the British Embassy in Lithuania, the Nordic Council of Ministers Office in Lithuania, the Transparency International Secretariat, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
