Join the University of Edinburgh on 26 March 2026, from 09:00 to 15:45 at Edinburgh Futures Institute, for the Data and AI Exchange. Scotland’s ambitions for Data and AI are accelerating — opening up major opportunities for economic growth, improved public services and wider societal benefit. At the same time, these ambitions are coming up against real-world constraints: infrastructure, skills, governance, public confidence and trust. As the birthplace of AI in Europe and a global leader in data-drive innovation, the University of Edinburgh is convening leaders from across Scotland’s academic, industry and public-sector communities to explore: What’s working now in Data and AI across sectors, using real-world examples; Where barriers remain – from regulation and skills to infrastructure and adoption; What needs to change to realise Scotland’s Data and AI ambitions in a way that delivers public value.
