Futurescot AI Challenge Shortlist
Storm ID and Futurescot launched the Futurescot AI Challenge in June 2024, to help Scottish public sector organisations to harness the power of AI.
Interested organisations were invited to propose AI solutions for real-world challenges. The competition received over 35 ideas from 20+ organisations across Scotland.
After rigorous deliberation, the judges selected three organisations to advance to the next stage of the AI Challenge. The shortlisted organisations are:
National Library of Scotland
Leveraging AI to help audiences explore and connect with Scotland’s vast audio-visual heritage.
Scottish Parliament
Developing an AI-driven system to revolutionise how citizens engage with live webstreams from the Scottish Parliament.
NHS Forth Valley
Utilising AI technology to streamline the processing of complaints data and extract valuable insights for service enhancement.
“We were delighted by the response levels from Scotland’s public sector agencies. It just goes to show that there is a huge groundswell of support to try and use AI for the public good.”
“The range and quality of applications made it a difficult task for our judging panel, but we reached consensus that the three selected for the final stage were highly innovative and potentially transformative in the way they deliver services to citizens.”
Each shortlisted organisation will work with Storm ID to develop a proof of concept (PoC) for their project. These PoCs will be presented to the judges at Futurescot’s Digital Scotland event on 26 November.
The winner, to be announced at the event, will receive £20,000 worth of technical support from Storm ID to further develop their idea and PoC.
