EXPERTS and industry leaders have insisted Scotland could have brought a “unique perspective” to discussions around ethical AI at a major summit it was snubbed from.at Bletchley Park as the UK looks to take a lead role in the discussions around the risks and opportunities with the rapidly advancing technology.
And he believes this perspective could have brought a lot to the table at the event, given a lot of countries are focusing more on productivity.“It starts out with perspective, on how AI can help people and then all of the things that come from that, whereas I think around the world - and certainly in the UK - it is more about productivity. It’s more about economically, what can we do with AI, whereas the Scottish strategy is about people and I think that’s reflected well in the research we do.
Brian Hills , CEO of The Data Lab, said much of the early research around AI actually came from Scotland and it continues to be world-leading in the sector. “Robert Gordon University, for example, has a world-leading machine vision department. We’ve done a project with them, we’ve funded them to work with IRT Surveys in Dundee and now we’ve automated the processing of all the imaging of social care housing stock and that’s for helping social care agencies access funding for insulation.”
“Having said that, a lot of the focus at Bletchley was on frontier models, the kind of next generation of things, and what we’re looking at is the here and now. How are we helping our entrepreneurs use this technology in the right way ? Hills added: “While it’s disappointing , future summits have been announced in the Republic of Korea and France, so there are opportunities there, I think, and we’d be advocating for participation there.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
