Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment he has made of Scotland's contribution to the UK's AI sector.

Scotland is a key contributor to the UK’s AI ecosystem. According to BIST’s AI sector study in 2024, Scotland was responsible for almost 2,000 AI jobs, as well as £180 million of AI-related revenues.

Scotland is also the focus of significant AI infrastructure investments, including a new £750 million national supercomputer hosted in the University of Edinburgh’s Advanced Computing Facility and £300 million of investment in the Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone.
