That the Parliament celebrates the successful launch of the Generative Artificial Intelligence Lab (GAIL) at the University of Edinburgh on 9 November 2023; acknowledges that the University is a leader in artificial intelligence (AI), as exhibited by its celebration of 60 years of AI research this year; supports that GAIL will develop techniques for generative AI in key areas such as robotics, drug discovery, medical diagnoses, semi-conductor development, and tackling climate change; understands that experts will also work with the University’s Centre for Technomoral Futures to develop the ethical, legal and regulatory frameworks necessary to ensure the safe and responsible use of AI; supports the University’s development of relationships with various public and private sector partners, which it believes will allow for even more innovative discovery and economic growth in Scotland and the wider UK with the implementation of GAIL, and congratulates the University once more on its successful launch of GAIL and its continued work on AI.
