Hear how Scottish AI Alliance representatives got on at the 2024 Turing Fest conference.

Guest blog from Gregory Metcalfe of The Children’s Parliament about his trip to the World Summit AI with the Scottish AI Alliance

Guest blog about our Scotland @ CogX event at Scotland House in London on 12 September 2023

In recent months few topics have captured public attention and imagination quite like artificial intelligence (AI) - as with any transformative technology it is important that discussions remain accurate and informed.  

New research explores children’s current knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI), with the aim of involving them in its future development.

2022 has been quite a year. We have been super busy so hopefully the following gives you a flavour of some of the things the Scottish AI Alliance have been up to.  

In this episode of Turing's Triple Helix we spoke with Dr. Luciana Blaha and Professor Donald Hislop about how AI is changing the way we work and will continue to do so.

We will be running two events, one ONLINE and one IN-PERSON in Edinburgh, in collaboration with Dr. Luciana Blaha and Professor Donald Hislop.

Guest blog from Mhairi Aitken, Ethics Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute.

On 30 March 2022, the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation published the findings from the first wave of their survey to monitor how attitudes towards data and AI vary over time.

In 2022 Democratic Society carried out a rapid literature review and an international case study analysis to learn from best practices of community participation and engagement mechanisms for governments’ strategy delivery.

At the end of November, UNESCO member states adopted the first ever global agreement on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This agreement, between 193 countries is a historic moment for global AI.

A recent YouGov poll shows the importance of building trust and ensuring transparency when it comes to AI in Scotland.

As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems is playing an ever-growing part in children’s lives, it is vital that their views are taken on board in shaping the design, development, and deployment of the AI applications they interact with.

Guest blog from Alisha Arora a passionate 15-year-old leveraging AI emphasising the importance of making AI transparent and accessible to youth.

Curious how you can use ethics to break the cycle of iterations and unlock true innovation in the pursuit of good technology?
