AI4ALL · Stage 2

Workshop Learning Journey

A two-hour, fully hands-on module for government decision support.

2 hours
Theme: Understanding How Data Science and AI Support Better Government Decisions.
Main learning goal: By the end of this module, you should understand what data-driven decision making means; how AI can discover useful patterns and predict future outcomes; the difference between discovering patterns and making predictions; how Orange provides a visual, no-code way to perform AI analysis; and how decision makers can use AI results responsibly.

Activity 1

AI Learning Type

Classify practical examples and explain the clues behind your choices.

10–15 minutes
Objective: Understand the difference between Supervised Learning and Unsupervised Learning.
Background: Supervised Learning uses historical examples with known answers to predict future outcomes. Unsupervised Learning does not know the correct answers; it discovers hidden patterns, relationships, or natural groups.

Step 1: Classification Challenge

For each AI task, choose Supervised Learning or Unsupervised Learning. Do not worry if you are unsure—the discussion afterwards is the most important part.

Activity 2

Data Preparation Process

Inspect, clean, prepare, and validate government service-request data.

30 minutes
Objective: Identify and resolve common data-quality problems before using data for AI and data analysis.
Preparation guidance: Check data quality for missing, duplicate, invalid, inconsistent, and unusual values; decide how to handle missing data; clean and standardize formats and categories; investigate outliers before removing them; select only relevant features; then transform and validate the final dataset.

Step 1: Inspect the Dataset

A government department collected the following service-request data for future AI analysis. Review the table and identify the problems.

Step 2: Prepare the Data

1. Check Data Quality

2. Handle Missing Data

Identify each missing value, choose how it should be handled, and explain why.

Record / missing attributeActionReason

3. Clean & Standardize

Identify values that represent the same information but are written differently. Standardize the categories and address duplicates.

Original value or issueStandardized value / actionNotes

4. Review Outliers

Decide which unusual values are clearly invalid and which could be genuine exceptional cases.

5. Select Relevant Features

Assume the objective is to analyze patterns affecting service processing time and citizen satisfaction.

6. Transform & Validate

Confirm each final preparation check.

Activity 3

Predict Future Outcomes

Supervised Learning: build and interpret an employee-attrition prediction model.

40 minutes
Objective: Understand where AI can assist employees and where human involvement is still necessary.
Scenario: The HR department wants to identify employees at risk of resigning so managers can intervene early. Review the selected attributes before building the model in Orange.

Steps 1–2: Understand the Data and Identify Data Types

For every attribute, select the most appropriate data type. Data types may include unique ID, numeric, categorical, boolean, ordinal, textual, descriptive, date, time, media, or documental.

Step 3: Build the Prediction Model Using AI

Follow the instructor in building the supervised learning system using Orange, then discuss:

Was the prediction correct? *
Should AI make the final decision? *
Optional evidence: Orange workflow or prediction result

Activity 4

Discover Hidden Patterns

Unsupervised Learning: explore natural service-performance groups.

40 minutes
Objective: Understand how AI can discover hidden patterns that may not be obvious to humans.
Scenario: The Ministry wants to understand service performance before developing or reviewing KPIs. The AI does not know the groups in advance; it analyzes service data to discover patterns based on efficiency, quality, employee satisfaction, digital adoption, and resource utilization.

Steps 1–2: Understand the Data and Identify Data Types

Select the most appropriate data type for each service attribute. The middle column shows the values or scale used in the dataset.

Step 3: Discover Patterns Using AI

Build the unsupervised learning workflow in Orange. Use the suggested visualizations, then record what you observe.

1. Find services with low employee satisfaction and high complaint rates. What factors might explain this pattern?

2. Find services with high employee workload and high cost per request.

3. Do automated services appear in similar groups? How does their performance compare with non-automated services?
