## Resource

The University of Edinburgh is urging the UK government to launch a citizens’ assembly to tackle AI’s societal impact, drawing from insights from 100 diverse voices across sectors. Their report “Governing the Future” calls for long-term AI infrastructure funding, clear accountability in medical AI decisions, and public input to guide policy. Scotland-specific recommendations include investing in AI skills, requiring private firms to prove public benefit before accessing NHS data, and creating community trusts for new data centers. Experts warn that the next few years will define whether AI serves the public good—or just corporate interests. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
