Our Practices for AI in Scotland

To achieve our vision for AI in Scotland, we will use the following practices to put our principles into action:

• Collective Leadership - This is central to the AI Alliance which will drive the successful implementation of the strategy. We will adopt the Team Scotland approach which places people first and is based on inclusion, co-production and collaboration.

• Public Sector Leadership - We will commit the public sector to lead by example and use AI responsibly to serve the public.

• Open and Engaging - We will strengthen our ways of working and advise developers and users of AI, drawing on best practice worldwide (such as the European Commission Independent High-Level Expert Group on AI’s Ethics Guidelines and Assessment List for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence) and our own success stories in Scotland.

• Adaptive Learning – The AI Playbook will become a shared and living asset, which will evolve as society and technologies change and we learn what works best. Through the AI Alliance, everyone will have opportunities to contribute, develop their AI skills and receive the support they need.
