Welcome to the inaugural episode of "Next Service," titled "Ctrl+Alt+AI: Rebooting the Future of Digital Governance" 🚀. In this premiere, we lay a solid groundwork for understanding the historical and foundational aspects of AI, which we will revisit and build upon in future episodes. Our journey begins with an exploration into the ancient myths and the intellectual inquiries that have shaped the course of artificial intelligence, from the animated statues of antiquity to the sophisticated algorithms of today 🧠.

In the "Chesterfield" segment, we dive into pressing Canadian tech news from our policy lenses🍁, focusing on the Online Streaming Act, Bill C-11, which redefines digital content governance, and the significant push for AI with the Securing Canada’s AI Advantage initiative. Each piece of legislation is dissected for its impact and implications on both national and global stages 🌎.

Our global tech and legal discussions continue in "Justice Jib," where we sail across international waters to discuss the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, a pioneering effort to regulate AI through a comprehensive legal framework ⚖️.

The episode heats up with "Hot Seat," featuring a special (and virtual) interview with a notable figure in technology (you have to listen to know who is there kind of thing :), discussing the future of AI in governance and public administration 🔥.

Finally, "Rainbow" quenches our curiosity with intriguing questions about public administration across the globe, such as which country has the largest public administrative building 🌈.

Join us as we embark on this enlightening journey, setting the stage for a series that promises to grow, inform, and inspire. Let's get the digital show on the road! 🎤🎧
