Scotland’s AI Strategy

Scotland’s AI Strategy was launched in March 2021 with the vision for Scotland to become a leader in the development and use of Trustworthy, Ethical and Inclusive AI.

It is with these three tenets that the Scottish AI Alliance has launched the inaugural Scottish AI Summit.

The event is made up of content submitted by Scotland’s AI community and is an opportunity for delegates to hear from leading AI experts from Scotland and beyond and get involved in a wide range of discussions and workshops.

Our Director Jen Ang will be chairing Panel 6 “Ethics, Risk and Regulation in AI” from 13:30 to 14.15.

This panel discussion will consider the issues associated with regulating artificial intelligence and mitigating risks associated with its use.

EY have carried out significant research in the area of risk assessment in artificial intelligence and the panel will discuss the findings, including the complexity of the issue and the various methodologies involved, and then consider where the interaction between these technical solutions and regulation.

The nature of artificial intelligence and a desire to foster innovation presents issues for regulators. This session will discuss how legislators and other bodies have attempted to navigate these issues and what the future may hold both in the UK and further afield. This will involve considering the role of ethics and their intersection with black letter law as ways of ensuring trustworthy, ethical AI.

The Panel includes:

Carolyn Jameson, Chief Trust Officer, Trust Pilot

Dr Ansgar Koene, Global AI Ethics and Regulatory Leader, EY

Callum Sinclair, Partner, Head of Technology and Commercial, Burness Paull LLP
