About the Challenge

The Futurescot AI Challenge 2026 will bring together Scottish public sector organisations to explore how Artificial Intelligence can be used to address real-world service and operational challenges.

Why get involved?

AI offers significant opportunities to improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance public services—when used effectively, responsibly, and ethically. The Challenge will support organisations to identify practical problems where AI can make a measurable difference.

What should I next?

If this may be relevant to your organisation, please visit this year’s AI Challenge website for background information and to learn more about developing a strong AI use case. Starting with a clearly defined problem will help you make the most of the Challenge once applications open.
