The motion

As an amendment to motion S5M-19822 in the name of Kate Forbes (Artificial Intelligence and Data Driven Technologies: Opportunities for the Scottish Economy and Society), after "benefit of the public" insert "; recognises that both Scotland and the wider world are yet to meet these preconditions and, in particular, that the development of an ethical framework requires significant debate as well as robust enforcement mechanisms, which are currently absent; further recognises that the concerns that relate to the use of AI include social bias in automated systems, unjust distribution of economic benefits, the integrity of democratic systems, safety and ethics in automated defence and security systems, privacy and the lack of human agency in situations requiring whistleblowing or challenge to corporate interests".
