An invite from MSc students at the University of Edinburgh Business School:

We are a team of postgraduate students of the MSc Entrepreneurship & Innovation from the University of Edinburgh Business School. As part of our Management Consultancy in Practice course we are conducting a project with the aim to understand the current AI (artificial intelligence) ecosystem in Scotland’s private sector and provide practical recommendations for the Scottish AI Alliance to formulate their action plan. Please find further information on the Alliance: Scotland’s ai strategy uoe masters note march 2022

We are reaching out to see if you and your business would be interested in participating in our survey (~10 mins) to enable us to learn more about your current use of AI as well as successes and challenges faced. Take the Survey

Participation is entirely voluntary and you have the option to withdraw from the survey at any point before, during or after, and skip any questions that you do not feel comfortable answering. None of the information will be published online anywhere or publicly accessible. The interview will enable us to provide a summary of the key points, themes and trends to the client.

Thank you in advance for expressing interest and willingly choosing to be part of this research. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact the team or our course supervisors.
