Net Zero Text TBC

Artificial intelligence is no longer a technology for specialists. It is already present in Scottish engineering workplaces — in predictive maintenance systems, scheduling algorithms, quality inspection tools, and HR platforms. Yet most employees — at every level — have never received any formal guidance on what AI is, how it affects them, or what their organisation's responsibilities are when using it.

This course changes that. 

Developed by Scottish Engineering and aligned with Scotland's AI Strategy (Trustworthy, Ethical, Inclusive), the Scottish AI Playbook, and the UK and EU regulatory frameworks now in force, AI at Work is designed as a core workplace module — the AI equivalent of your induction-level Health & Safety or EDI training. 

What to Expect Net Zero Text TBC

This is not a technical course and it is not a legal advice session. It requires no prior knowledge of AI, data science, or technology. It is suitable for every role — from the shop floor to the boardroom — and is designed to be delivered to mixed groups of staff together, creating a shared language and shared confidence across your entire workforce. 

This course provides general awareness information only. It does not constitute legal advice. Delegates with specific questions about their organisation's legal obligations should seek independent professional guidance.
  • What AI is — and what it isn't — in plain language 

  • How AI is being used in engineering and manufacturing workplaces today 

  • The ethical principles that should govern how AI is built and deployed 

  • The UK and EU regulatory frameworks that organisations must now navigate 

  • What responsible AI use looks like in practice — for individuals and organisations 

  • How to ask good questions, raise concerns, and know where to seek further guidance 

Learning Objectives Net Zero Text TBC

IDENTIFY
what artificial intelligence is, how it works in general terms, and recognise examples of AI systems already present in engineering and manufacturing workplaces.

DESCRIBE
the core principles of ethical and responsible AI — including fairness, transparency, accountability, and human oversight — and explain why these principles matter in a workplace context.

RECOGNISE
the key UK and EU regulatory frameworks that govern how organisations develop and use AI, and understand the general responsibilities these place on organisations — without providing or implying legal advice.

EXPLAIN
how AI can produce unfair, biased, or unintended outcomes, and describe the steps organisations and individuals can take to identify and reduce these risks.

APPLY
a simple personal framework for responding to AI in their own role — including how to ask questions about AI systems, raise concerns appropriately, and identify where to seek further guidance.
