Empowering People

This year the Transformation Design cohort at The Glasgow School of Art embarked on an exciting new partnership with Calum McDonald, Engagement and Participation at the Scottish AI Alliance (SAIA) on an exciting design project exploring the impacts of generative AI (gen-AI) and the climate crisis.

At the Scottish AI Alliance when we say Inclusive AI what we mean is that we want AI that includes everyone from across the diverse cultures and communities that make up the population of Scotland.

At the Scottish AI Alliance when we say Ethical AI what we mean is that we want AI that respects and supports the values of a progressive, fair and equal Scotland. AI that supports our ambitions for a fairer, greener Scotland while enabling us to become a more outward looking and prosperous country.

Trustworthy AI must be transparent so that we can observe how these systems help organisations make decisions, and must be disclosed so that people are aware of the use of AI in their lives. 

In this blog, we'll explore the environmental implications of AI to encourage consideration before implementing and using AI systems.
