  • From hype to infrastructure: the future of AI, regulation and public services
    Mar 23 2026

    Welcome to the AI in Government Lab podcast: aiming to map where the public sector needs to move next, and what to do now to get there.

    We're bringing together interesting leaders in different roles, so that we are really exploring what is possible, what’s not, and how that is changing – but above all else, what it will take to build the next generation of services in government and the public realm.

    Host Fuzlin Esau alongside hedgehog labs' Head of Public Sector Andy Lawson talk to Colin Payne, Head of Innovation at the FCA, a leader sitting at the intersection of regulation and technology - helping turn AI from hype into safe, system-wide impact across financial services.

    This podcast is brought to you by Label Sessions, a part of the hedgehog lab family. We're the world's leading innovation expert network, bolstered by expertise in AI delivery.
