## Description
Without question Artificial Intelligence is going to play an increasingly important part in our lives. Its potential is enormous, and we would like that potential to be harnessed for societal benefit – to make people’s lives better. But this is only going to happen if AI itself is both transparent and trusted, and that means we need to develop it in such a way that AI is explainable so that people know and understand it, and are able to engage with it.
A first step would be what we want this Challenge to do: enable a meaningful dialogue with the public on how we use AI to help make decisions. The initial focus will be on dialogue with children and their parents and carers about decisions that affect them.
So how do we use give the citizens of Scotland trust and agency over how AI and algorithms are used in the public sector?
