mosAIc brings together Scotland’s community working at the intersection of AI governance, ethics, responsible AI, and adoption — with a commitment to centring the voices most missing from the room.
Building AI Together. For Everyone.
Next event
Join us in Edinburgh to discuss the current and future landscape of AI — from agentic systems to bias and governance.
Keynote discussions on agentic AI, bias and governance, with Q&A and pizza. Held on AI Awareness Day — a moment to reflect on where AI is taking us and who gets to decide.

8th October 2024 · The Melting Pot, Edinburgh
AI Safety Meet-up Edinburgh
Our first meetup, sponsored by BlueDot Impact. A panel discussion on AI safety, responsible AI, and existential risk — with Sireesha Chavali (Women in AI), Richard Palmer (MantaRAI), and Adam Harrison (Edinburgh AI Safety Hub). Packed room, brilliant questions, and the start of something special.
Who we are
mosAIc is a Scotland-based community at the intersection of AI governance, ethics, responsible AI, and enterprise adoption. We exist because the conversations shaping AI — in policy rooms, boardrooms, and design sprints — are still missing the people most affected by the systems being built.
We bring together practitioners, researchers, advocates, and curious minds who believe that minority representation is not a diversity checkbox — it is a governance imperative. Better AI requires better rooms.
Our events are a space to think critically, connect meaningfully, and build the cross-sector relationships Scotland’s AI ecosystem needs.
Founders
Started by two practitioners who wanted a different kind of AI conversation in Scotland.
Andrea Rosales
AI Research & Innovation Lead · Co-founder
Andrea has spent over 15 years working at the intersection of data, AI, and the real world — across industry and academia. She holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of St Andrews, where her research explored how AI systems learn and adapt in complex environments. Her work has since moved from domain adaptation and continual learning into LLM reasoning and reliability, always with a focus on explainability and robustness.
Recognised as a UK Global Talent for her contributions to AI, she is currently Associate Director of Data Science at Blend — helping organisations design and deliver responsible AI solutions with a genuine commitment to data for good.
Sidrah Hassan
AI Ethicist & Public Speaker · Co-founder
Sidrah is an award-winning AI ethicist on a mission to ensure AI is deployed safely — and that its benefits reach the many, not just the few. She has led the design and implementation of AI governance frameworks and developed AI strategy and policy aligned with the EU AI Act, GDPR, and ISO standards, while delivering large-scale AI literacy programmes across organisations.
A published thought-leader and sought-after speaker, she brings both technical depth and lived perspective to questions of fairness, accountability, and who AI is actually built for.

What we talked about at our launch meetup
A look back at the conversations, questions, and connections from our first Edinburgh gathering.
Why minority voices are a governance imperative, not a nice-to-have
The systems being built today will shape society for decades. The people designing them need to reflect that responsibility.
