The AI gap in Scotland
of Scottish SMEs are not yet using AI
of AI projects fail to deliver - around twice the rate of non-AI projects
The AI Challenge for Scottish Businesses
62% of Scottish SMEs are not yet using AI, and of those that have started, around 80% of AI projects fail to deliver - roughly twice the rate of non-AI projects (Scottish Government AI Strategy 2026-31; RAND, 2025). Leaders feel the urgency to adopt AI but lack the capacity or expertise to deliver change.
