Prof Georgios Leontidis co-hosts Scottish Government Strategic Advisory Group
On 9 May 2024, Prof Georgios Leontidis hosted a highly productive session of the Strategic Advisory Group on Applications of AI in Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture (ENRA). Georgios co-chaired this workshop with Prof Mark Brewer (BioSS). This initiative, commissioned by the Scottish Government and SEFARI Director Charles Bestwick, saw engaging presentations and discussions. Scottish Government representatives, led by Deputy Chief Scientific Advisor for ENRA, Sallie Bailey FICFor, and Head of RESAS, Graeme Beale, along with an expert panel including Christos Tachtatzis, Elizabeth Sklar, Kate Jones, Shannon Vallor, and Jessica Enright, provided valuable insights. Key discussions focused on responsible and ethical AI, highlighted by Shannon Vallor’s expertise, a core pillar of the Scottish AI Alliance. Contributions from Scottish AI Alliance leadership, including Scot Gov’s Chief Data Officer Tom Wilkinson, were instrumental. The group’s deliberations set the stage for future policy directions, supporting the Scottish Government’s strategic goals in these critical sectors.
