LGAQ Lab Notes
Lab Notes is the LGAQ Lab podcast, bringing Queensland councils the latest developments in emerging technology and innovation.
In every episode, we break down three important stories from the world of AI, digital technology and emerging innovation, explaining what they mean for local government and how they could improve the way councils work.
From AI and machine learning to practical digital tools and real-world case studies, Lab Notes helps you stay informed without the technical jargon.
If your council has a challenge that could benefit from innovation, we’d love to hear from you. Get in the touch with the LGAQ Lab at lgaqlab@lgaq.asn.au
