May’s Conversation: Exploring AIIn this month’s Creative Circles, we’re partnering with Scottish AI Alliance to explore the concept of “artificial intelligence”, unpicking Scotland’s AI Strategy and how it applies to the world of creative freelancing, and create a space for the community to feed into and steer the national AI Strategy.
