To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide details of any work that it (a) has done and (b) is currently doing to assess how it plans to utilise AI in relation to the delivery of all devolved public services, including the NHS, police service, prison service, transport network, education system and local authorities.

The Scottish Government does not centrally manage the use of Artificial Intelligence across our public services.

Scotland’s AI Strategy provides the overarching high-level principles that ensures a consistent approach to adhere to those principles of being transparent, ethical, and inclusive with the use of Artificial Intelligence across the public sector. The Scottish Government provides public sector wide AI guidance aligned with the Strategy and UK Government generative AI guidance. In addition, the Scottish AI Register, which is mandatory for Scottish Government and core agencies supports safe, transparent, and consistent AI development and deployment, while enabling public participation and sharing best practice across the public sector.
