“"AI is one of the biggest opportunities for Scotland's economy in a generation. The potential is there, with an additional £23 billion a year within reach by 2035. But it will only be realised if businesses take action. Whether you are an established firm or a growing start-up, and whether you are curious, cautious or sceptical about AI, now is the time to explore what it can do for you. We want Scottish businesses to harness AI to meet that ambition, and to exceed it. Scotland has a real advantage in the world-class talent our universities and colleges produce, and in the research and computing power behind them. That strength, working hand in hand with business, is what will turn this potential into jobs, investment and growth. Government can set the direction and help clear the way, but we need industry to tell us what works, what doesn't and what would make the difference. That is why we have brought this group together today."
“"The opportunity AI offers Scotland is significant, but it will only be realised if businesses and government pull in the same direction. Today's roundtable is a chance for industry to share what is working on the ground and for government to listen and act. By collaborating, we can help more businesses of every size make the most of AI."
